RCVDA Volunteer Awards 2015

RCVDA Volunteer Awards 2015
The Marquee Westfield Farm,
The Green, Dormanstown, Redcar TS10 5NA
Thursday 9th July 1 pm – 4 pm

RCVDA’s Volunteer Awards 2015 will be held on Thursday 9th July.

For the past two years we have joined with MVDA to recognise the work of volunteers across the South Tees but this year we are once again ‘flying solo’ to celebrate the wonderful volunteers in our borough of Redcar & Cleveland.

VENUE

We are taking advantage of the marquee in the beautiful grounds of our ‘home’ here at Westfield Farm and, as those of you who have visited RCVDA over the past 3 years will agree, the setting is ideal for ‘afternoon tea on the lawn’ – weather permitting!!

CATEGORIES

There are only 7 categories this year and we have made it a little more difficult. We have not included a generic “Adult Volunteer” category so nominators will have to think about which category best suits their volunteer/team. You can find the electronic nomination form here – https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=8J7UzbhUBs%2ASNixXUqkJtA – simply complete and press submit by 19th June 2015.

VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

A volunteer who has “gone the extra mile” this year – this could be by the amount of time they have dedicated to their particular project or the difference they have made to the lives of their service users.

YOUNG VOLUNTEER/TEAM (under 21)

Do you know a young volunteer/team who has exemplified all that is good in our young people ie by representation, inter- generational initiatives, involvement in their community.

COMMUNITY SAFETY CHAMPION/TEAM

We are looking for a person/team in your community who makes your neighbourhood a ‘safer place to be’ eg neighbourhood watch, campaigning for facilities.

HEALTH & WELLBEING CHAMPION/TEAM

This individual/team would have had a direct effect on the physical/mental health or lifestyle of residents of Redcar & Cleveland. Examples could include befriending, sports clubs, health support groups, etc.

ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMPION/TEAM

This individual/team would have had a direct effect on the appearance of your community. Examples could include Litter picking, conservation or gardening etc.

RCVDA LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

A person who has dedicated years of effective service to the community/project they are passionate about.

GEORGE PUNSHON OUTSTANDING GROUP AWARD

A group/team who has dedicated years of effective service to the community/project they are passionate about.

YOUR NOMINATION

Please give some time to writing a pen portrait of your nomination. The judges can only make a decision based on what you write so the more detail of the qualities of your volunteer/team the better chance they have of winning the award.
Obviously all nominated volunteers will receive a certificate and those shortlisted will receive an invitation – with their nominator – to the event. Nominate here: https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=8J7UzbhUBs%2ASNixXUqkJtA

Please submit nominations to RCVDA by 19th June 2015.

Good luck everyone!

Trish
