The Vodafone UK Foundation launches Community Awards 2006
Howard Lake | 28 June 2006 | Newswire
The Vodafone UK Foundation Community Awards 2006 launches this week. The call is out to all charities and community organisations across the UK to nominate Vodafone employees who support them and win donations for 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.
In its debut year last year, the Awards received over 370 nominations ranging from volunteering as a school governor and pro bono legal work to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. As a result, almost £30,000 was donated to community projects across the UK.
All the finalists and charity partners will be invited to an Awards Ceremony and Dinner at Vodafone HQ on Thursday 30th November 2006 with Martyn Lewis CBE as Master of Ceremonies.
