Nominate your community champions
Nominations have opened to recognise the best
of Croydon’s army of volunteers and civic champions.
The annual Croydon community civic awards
showcase the outstanding efforts made by some of the
many thousands of local people who give up their time
to help others.
Previous winners included one of last year’s
youth parliament members, Javell Nelson, as well as
Croydon Radio, the online station which provides a
voice for numerous local voluntary groups.
Judges will be looking for examples of
volunteering that significantly benefits other people
and sets a benchmark for excellence, both locally and
nationally.
Categories for the 2014 awards are:

Anyone can make a nomination before the
closing date of 31 March 2014.
Four finalists in each category will be invited to a
