The Vodafone UK Foundation is seeking nominations from all charities and community
organisations across the UK for Vodafone employees who support their cause.
Run 
in conjunction with CAF (Charities Aid Foundation), the independently judged Awards
are designed to recognise the contribution made by Vodafone employees to communities
across the UK. Every charity nominating a Vodafone employee or team wins an entry
donation of £50 or £100, with the chance of receiving further award donations for
winning entries for the ten categories. The nominating charity for the winner of
the top ‘Inspiring Others Award’ will receive £1,000.
