“I would encourage all residents to nominate someone they know who deserves a Volunteering Award.”
Volunteering can take different forms such as helping out at sports or social clubs, organising events such as clean ups or simply helping an elderly neighbour.
The award categories include Newcomer to Volunteering, Team Spirit, Personal Achievement, Community Impact and Lifetime Contribution.
