SE Coop Community awards

Don’t Delay – Nominate Today for the prestigious South East Co-operative Community Awards !
The Co-operative is calling on people to salute the stars of the local community by nominating them for a prestigious South East Co-operative Community Award. The awards will celebrate the individuals, community groups and projects that have made local neighbourhoods a brighter place to live and work in 2011.
The awards open to public nomination:
  • Green Project or Group of the Year
  • Green Schools Initiative of the Year
  • Contribution to Arts and Culture
  • Volunteer of the Year
  • Young Volunteer of the Year
  • Community Group of the Year
  • Co-operative and Inspiration Award
  • Community Hero 2011
  • Community Achievement Award
Three entries from each category will be short-listed to attend the glittering awards finale at London Zoo’s Prince Albert Suite on Saturday 12th November where the overall winners will be revealed!
So far this year, The Co-operative’s Community Fund has already donated over £200,000 to community groups and projects across the South East; we know from first-hand experience there are some amazing community initiatives out there that ought to be honoured.
Everyone knows a friend, neighbour, colleague or relative who has gone the extra mile to help their local area or someone who is involved in a community group that has really captured the imaginations of local residents. These people deserve your nominations and I urge everyone to download a nomination form now!
