The search has begun for Cambridgeshire and
Peterborough's top communities of 2008. The Cambridgeshire and
Peterborough Community Life Awards sponsored by Calor in
association with Archant and others are being launched and
leaflets will be sent out to the county's villages, market
towns, community groups and community buildings inviting them to
enter, with the chance of sharing over £3,000 in prizes.
The Awards are organised by Cambridgeshire
ACRE with sponsorship provided by Calor in association with
Archant, Cambridgeshire County Council and others. They fall
into three different areas:
The Cambridgeshire
Volunteer Awards are sponsored by Cambridgeshire
County Council. The Volunteer Awards are a chance to nominate
those local heroes and unsung volunteers for their outstanding
contribution to community life. The awards themselves do not
have a huge monetary value but are a symbol of the County’s
appreciation of individual voluntary effort. In a change to last
year, the Cambridgeshire Volunteer Awards will be open to
organisations and groups and not just individuals.
The Cambridgeshire
and Peterborough Village of the Year award is
sponsored by Calor, the UK’s leading supplier of LPG (liquefied
petroleum gas). This award recognises community spirit and
achievement at a village level; scenic beauty is not important.
The prize is £1,000 for the winning community to spend however
it wishes.
Aspects of Community
Life is sponsored by Archant (the local newspaper
group) and a host of other local businesses and organisations.
Aspects of Community Life will give community groups and
locally-run facilities recognition for the huge, positive impact
they have on different aspects of community life. Winners will
benefit from cash awards of between £200 and £500. The
categories available for entries are: Children and Young People
in the Community, Older People in the Community, Environment and
the Community, Enterprise in the Community, Sport in the Community and Community Building of the Year.
