Searching for local heroes
I urge Stevenage residents to nominate their community’s local heroes for recognition through the Nationwide Awards for Voluntary Endeavour.
The awards are organised by Nationwide Building Society, in association with the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) and the Newspaper Society. There are four award categories – Young people under 18 years, groups under 18 years, individual adults and groups of adults. The overall winners will receive a trophy and prizes to the value of £500, and a charity of their choice will receive a donation of £2500.
These awards are designed to reward and recognise the local heroes in our community whose voluntary work or community activity has made a real difference to peoples’ lives. Those who give up their free time to help others rarely ask for recognition but I believe they deserve it. This is your chance to nominate someone who you believe deserves an award and make sure their work is recognized. The closing date for nomination is 28th April.
Anybody wishing to nominate someone can pick up a leaflet containing a nomination form from their local branch of Nationwide Building Society, or the local public library. Forms will also be available from the Stevenage Labour Party offices at 4 Popple Way and online at the Nationwide web site.
