Blaby District Council Community Awards

I am delighted to let you know that our Community Awards are running again this year and that nominations are now open! The awards recognise and celebrate the contribution and achievements of individual volunteers and voluntary sector organisations that serve Blaby district. There are three award categories:

• Volunteer of the Year
• Young Volunteer of the Year
• Community Group of the Year

Nominations will close at midnight on Sunday 10 November 2024 after which individual winners will be decided by a judging panel and the Community Group of the Year will be decided by a public vote. Thanks to this year's sponsors – Everyone Active, Central Co-op and the Love Blaby Lottery – we can offer cash prizes for our deserving winners and runners-up and host a special awards ceremony in January. More details, including the entry criteria, and the online nomination form are available at Community Awards 2024 – Blaby District Council

I would be really grateful if you could help to raise awareness of the Community Awards through your networks and keep an eye out on our social media channels to help share posts on your feeds (Blaby District | Leicester | Facebook and https://twitter.com/BlabyDC). A press release will also follow soon. It would be great to reach as wide an audience as possible in order to receive individual and group nominations from across the whole district. You are, of course, welcome to nominate too. If you have any queries or requests for a paper or email version of the nomination form, please contact vcshub@blaby.gov.uk
