People who give up their free time to support their local community will be recognised as part of Chester Voluntary Action’s annual awards later this year.
If you know a volunteer who deserves extra praise for making an impact in the community then now is the time to nominate them for one of these awards.
The categories include: Younger Volunteers (25 and under), Older Volunteers (over 65), Trustees, and the CVA Inspiration Award.
This year also sees a brand new category for Good Neighbour which will recognise people who make a difference in their immediate community.
The awards are sponsored by Cheshire West and Chester Council and winners will be announced during Volunteers’ Week 2018 (1st-7th June).
The winner in each category will receive a complimentary place at the CVA Charity Ball to be held at The Chester Grosvenor in October.
Cllr Louise Gittins, CWAC cabinet member for communities and wellbeing, said: “There are so many people giving up their time to help local causes and the local community.
“Without volunteers, many vital support services would cease to function. These awards are a great way to demonstrate all the important work that goes on and a chance to show appreciation for great commitment.”
Nominations close on Wednesday 16th May and decisions on the winners will be made by a panel of people from the voluntary, public and private sector.
