People are once again being urged to nominate their local heroes for Blaby district’s seventh Outstanding Achievement Awards.
Friends, families, and workmates are being asked to put forward individuals or groups who they think deserve recognition for exceptional work in the community.
Last year 89-year-old Donald Wills won an award for making the district a safer place after volunteering as a neighbourhood watch co-ordinator in Braunstone for 13 years.
Trevor Matthews works for Braunstone Town Council and put Donald forward for the award, he said:
“I nominated Donald because of the number of years he has served his community, and the fact that he is still doing it now is incredible.
“There must be lots of others in the community doing great work like him so let’s find them and give them the recognition they deserve.”
Nominations are now being accepted for the following categories:
- Outstanding achievement by a young person
- Selfless services to a voluntary body or the community which is of a
social or environmental nature - Sporting achievement
- Community or voluntary group that improves the quality of life for residents in the district
- Individual or group that makes the district a safer place to live
The 2010 awards have received generous sponsorship from Grove Park Commercial Centre, Fosse Shopping Park, Bardon Aggregates, Ford & Slater, Leicester Marriott and Sytner Group.
Finalists will be invited to a presentation dinner on October 7 where cash prizes and certificates will be awarded to the winners and runners up.
To request a nomination form please contact Lucy Wheeler on 0116 272 7512 or e-mail public.relations@blaby.gov.uk.
