Last Chance To Nominate For Community Awards

There are just a few days left to nominate individuals or groups for Harborough’s first Community Awards.

They aim to recognise those who go above and beyond to help others, with categories including Volunteer of the Year; Voluntary and Community Group of the Year; Young Person of the Year (11-18 and 19-25) and Special Recognition Award for an individual who has made a significant, long-term contribution to their community.

The awards scheme is being run by Harborough District Council and will also incorporate a presentation of the Citizenship Cup by the Harborough Civic Society.

Nominations have to be in by Sunday ahead of the awards ceremony in December.

Cllr Knowles, Leader of Harborough District Council, said: “These new awards will be a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the valuable work that takes place around the district and sometimes goes unnoticed.

“I encourage people across the district to take a look at the criteria and nominate someone or a group they think deserves to be recognised.”

Details of the individual awards and criteria and how to nominate an individual or group are available on the council’s website at: www.harborough.gov.uk/communityawards24
