The Chairman of East Dorset District Council, Cllr Steve Lugg has launched a search for this year’s community champions from the district.
This is the second year of the East Dorset Community Awards and they are bigger and better this year. Cllr Lugg wishes to showcase and celebrate the wonderful community spirit found in the district’s communities and the awards will now comprise three categories.
Business Supporting Community – a business that is embedded in the community, and ‘goes the extra mile’ for the community.
Young Community Hero – a young person (under 25) that has been, or is, a real ‘hero’ in the nominator’s eyes.
East Dorset Community Volunteer – East Dorset’s overall and outstanding community volunteer for the year.
Nominations are now open and close on 1 November 2015. Presentations will take place at an East Dorset Community New Year Reception in January 2016.
Anyone can nominate an individual or a business by writing to the Chairman at East Dorset District Council, Furzehill, Wimborne BH21 4HN with a nomination narrative, or by emailing it to [email protected] by 1 November.
Cllr Steve Lugg said: “From attending events and meeting lots of local people, it is clear that there are lots of incredible stories out there! I want to highlight the strength of our communities by recognising special endeavour, on behalf of others.”
