The Guardian is inviting entries to its Public Services Awards 2011, which includes
one award for Citizenship and Volunteering. This is open to teams in the private
and public sectors, as well as in the public services, and is designed to recognise
volunteering and other initiatives that contribute to the community.

The award aims to recognise teams in the private sector, as well as those engaged
in public services, who have contributed to the enhancement of civil society through
their outstanding dedication and willingness to share their time and skills through
volunteering.

The award is designed to seeks to recognise schemes that promote good citizenship
by employees, whether by volunteering, serving as councillors, school governors 
or magistrates, or perhaps by helping and representing disadvantaged groups.
