Staffordshire Volunteer Awards: Nominate now!

 

The Staffordshire Volunteer Awards are back, and following on from last year’s huge success, this time it’s bigger and better than ever!

 

As a sporting enthusiast/organisation we know that you value the help and support that volunteers can bring and we want to celebrate and recognise their contributions.

 

Do you know of a fantastic fundraiser or first -aider?  A brilliant volunteer broadcaster or book worm? A shining Scout leader or sports referee, or an outstanding business or organisation that knows how important volunteers are in putting something back into the community? Then nominate now at www.volunteerstaffordshire.org.uk/awards! Alternatively email vicki.green@staffordshire.gov.uk with a few words about why you think that certain someone/team deserves such recognition.

 

Nominations are now being accepted in eight different categories:

• Environmental Volunteer of the Year Award;
• Sporting/cultural volunteer of the Year Award;
• Business Contribution to the Community Award;
• Staffordshire Young Volunteer of the Year Award;
• Lifetime Achievement Award;
• Volunteer of the Year Award ;
• Volunteer Team of the Year Award and
• the Unsung Hero Award – which recognises people that may not formally volunteer for an organisation or cause, but still make a difference.

Everyone shortlisted will be invited the gala celebration and awards evening in March at Alton Towers.

 

Everyone who places a nomination will be put into a prize draw for free ticket to the evening.

The deadline for entries is Monday 5^th December 2011.
