Time is running out to nominate your community champion

Voluntary Action Rotherham (VAR) will acknowledge unsung heroes with its fifteenth Community Achievement Awards.

The ceremony will honour those working in the voluntary and community sectors.

Prizes will be handed to the best volunteers, young volunteers and projects around the borough.

Membership, communications and involvement officer\!q Sarah Kelly said: “Rotherham has some great organisations, community groups, projects and volunteers delivering much valued support and services to residents.

“More often than not, their tireless work goes unrecognised.

“The awards aim to recognise, highlight and celebrate the work of individuals and projects that have made a significant difference to the communities of Rotherham.”

Nominations for the awards will close on Friday, August 31.

Entries are invited from volunteers, staff, service users and anyone with knowledge of a particular project or volunteer.
