Why do we run an Award Scheme?
Babergh's Community Achievement Award Scheme, which celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2012 was introduced to recognise and promote the achievements of people living in the Babergh district who have made a significant contribution to their local community or school. There are four categories of awards:
-
Category 1 - outstanding contribution made by a young person or group of young people 18 years or under
-
Category 2 - selfless service by an individual (over 18) to a voluntary body or to the community
-
Category 3 - voluntary or community group that improves the quality of life for residents in our district
-
Category 4 - outstanding business contribution to the well-being of the community/district (single award)
How do I nominate someone for an Award?
Application forms are sent to Parish Councils & Meetings, Schools and other recognised community/voluntary organisations in September of each year with a closing date of 30th November for receipt of nominations.
What happens next?
The nominations are judged in December and award winners notified before Christmas.
An award ceremony is organised for February/March each year, this year's event being on 7th March 2012 at the Stoke by Nayland Club. Mark Murphy from Radio Suffolk will be the guest of honour and the event will also be attended by David Wood, Chairman of the Council and Robert Audley, Chairman of Prolog. |
