Kingsbridge Town Council are announcing the launch of the Kingsbridge Community Champions awards in 2018.

A KTC representative said it was “time to pay tribute to the many volunteers who graciously donate their time and talents and help keep Kingsbridge wonderful!”

KTC launched the new Kingsbridge Community Champions awards last year to encourage wider community participation, and, for the second year, there are six different categories: Arts and Culture, Business, Environment, Sport, Volunteer and Young Champions.

A KTC representative said: “The awards are all about recognising and celebrating the fabulous contributions that local people make to ensure that Kingsbridge is a great place to work, rest and play.

“Your nomination may be for a shopkeeper, a sporty person, a group, a volunteer, a young person etc. The Town Council does not wish to be too prescriptive and the whole concept is for the Kingsbridge community to effectively elect their own champions with as few rules and conditions involved as possible.”

Last year’s Community Champions were Sam Dennis, Nicola Fox, Bruce Pritchard, Steve Mammatt and Jamie, Giles and Angus Grant.

You can download a nomination form from the KTC website: www.kingsbridge.gov.uk, pick one up from the Council Offices at Quay House, via email: [email protected] or call 01548 853296.

Nomination forms will also be available from the Library, Kingsbridge Information Centre and a few shops. It will only take you a few minutes to complete your nomination for your Community Champion – let’s give local people the credit they deserve.

Deadline for applications is Friday, March 30, 2018.
