Ivybridge Community Awards

THE DAVID BRITTON CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD 2021 AND THE NICK CUMMINS COMMUNITY GROUP OF THE YEAR AWARD 2021

Ivybridge Town Council is once again delighted to announce that it is seeking nominations for The David Britton Citizen of the Year Award 2021 and The Nick Cummins Community Group of the Year Award 2021.

These prestigious awards are for individuals and groups and will be given to those whom the Council feel have provided an invaluable input into the community and have made a difference through their involvement in the town. There are many unsung heroes who work away, often behind the scenes, but who are making an impact on the community.

During the Covid-19 pandemic this year we have been amazed by the number of volunteers who have selflessly given up their time to help others, and now is the time to ensure these people are recognised.

The awards are open to individuals and groups who solely volunteer within the community and as in previous years the award does cover people living outside the town although they must have provided a service valued by people in Ivybridge.

If you know of any person or group you feel deserves to be nominated please write to Ivybridge Town Council, Erme Court, Leonards Road, Ivybridge, PL21 0SZ, or email the information to lindsaylane@ivybridge.gov.uk giving full details of name/group, address and reasons why they should be put forward to receive such an award and also include your own name and address. Please provide as much information as possible as this will help the Council to make their decision.

The nominations will be considered by the Town Council at the November meeting and the winners will receive a presentation from the Town Mayor towards the end of the year.

All entries must be received by Friday 15 October 2021.
