Nationwide Community and Heritage Awards open
Howard Lake | 11 March 2008 | News
The Nationwide Community & Heritage Awards are open for nominations. These aim to recognise some of the many people, both individuals and groups, who give their time and energy to improve the life of members of the community.
The Nationwide Awards for Voluntary Endeavour have now been running for 10 years. In that time, 13,000 nominations have been received, and 1,200 awards presented.
To mark the 10th anniversary of the awards, Nationwide has extended them to include the theme of heritage. This can include village museums, biodiversity programmes, local cultural traditions, archaeological digs, and many other types of project. All of these facets of heritage rely heavily upon volunteer support.
As a result, Nationwide has teamed up with the Heritage Lottery Fund as its expert partners in the new awards scheme for 2008, renamed The Nationwide Community & Heritage Awards.
The closing date for nominations is 28 April 2008.
