Time to nominate community heroes

by Claire Young on 15 November, 2017

Nominations are now open for The Chair’s Community Awards 2018. If you know a volunteer or group who has gone the extra mile to help your community, please nominate them using the forms available on this page by 5th January.

Suggested areas of contribution include community development, promoting equality, arts, sports, play, environment, working with older or young people, advice and advocacy and being a good neighbour. The chosen nominees will be notified in February and invited to a prestigious awards evening on 7 March to receive their awards. The Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, Dame Janet Trotter, attends the awards ceremony and selects an individual from the winners to receive a special Lord Lieutenant’s Award.

    As a member of the garden club it would be nice if a sound system could be fitted for us oldies at Manor Hall coalpitheath.

      Thanks for your suggestion. I will ask the trustees at the Manor Hall if this is something they have considered and they could then consider putting in a bid to me for Member Awarded Funding.

      I’ve been told the trustees looked into hearing loops a little while ago but unfortunately the size of the rooms and variety of uses make them too expensive and not very practical. However, they do have a fairly new PA system which the gardening club could use – you just need to contact Alison to ask for it to be brought in.
