Do you know an amazing volunteer?

Thank you for all your nominations in the Volunteer Staffordshire Awards!

Nominations have now closed for this year but thank you for all your nominations.  We have been amazed by the response and have been so impressed by all the wonderful things people are doing.  We are currently reviewing them all and will soon publish a list of short listed nominations in anticipation of the gala celebration at Alton Towers in March 2012.   

Everyone who has nominated a volunteer who will be automatically entered into a draw to win two free tickets to the Celebration Evening which includes a five course meal and entertainment, as well as the presentation of the awards to the winners. 
 
Volunteers make such a difference to their communities and Staffordshire, and it’s about time they were recognised and thanked for it.
 
We have had some amazing responses telling us about people who:
  • organise, take part in or help to run activities or events?
  • give advice or information?
  • lead a group or community or are part of a volunteer committee?
  • use their skills or knowledge to help others?
  • does the shopping or collects a pension for an older person?
  • cares for children or supports and helps develop young people?
  • helps people get around?
  • Lobbies politicians or local businesses for the good of everyone?
  
Thank you once again for all your nominations.  Nominations have now closed.  You can still see our Roll of Honour and see some of the people who have been nominated!  Look out soon for details of people who have been shortlisted for an award.
