Nominate your good neighbours
3:02pm Thursday 6th March 2008
PEOPLE in Hampshire are being asked to put forward good neighbours who have made a difference either to them personally or to the community at large.
Hampshire County Council has launched its Good Neighbour Award Scheme for 07/08, giving people the opportunity to say thank you and reward the support of volunteers and friends, whether someone who collects shopping for an elderly neighbour or helps tidy gardens.
Leader of Hampshire County Council Councillor Ken Thornber said: "We have been hosting these awards for three years now and it's an occasion that I really look forward to. Hampshire County Council recognises that good neighbours are essential in our local communities and this awards scheme is an opportunity to reward and encourage those that volunteer their own time to support others."
The award scheme will be judged by a selection panel from Hampshire County Council and our partner voluntary groups and has been developed in conjunction with a number of partners including The Hampshire Voluntary Care Group Advisory Service, Age Concern Hampshire, Carers Together, WRVS, Brendoncare Club Hampshire.
If you would like to nominate someone simply e-mail the information to wellbeing@hants.gov.uk or you can download a nomination form from www.hants.gov.uk/bettertime or you can request a nomination form by calling 01962 845687 to request a nomination form. The deadline for nominations is Friday 21st March.
