To mark the launch of National Volunteers’ Week, nominations are now open for the 2015 ‘Harrow’s Heroes’ awards. There are hundreds of people in our borough who sacrifice their time and effort to make a difference and help others. Harrow’s Heroes awards are an opportunity for communities to honour some of them for their work. There will be 7 awards given out at the ceremony in October.
Also the council is celebrating National Volunteers’ Week, which begins on 1st June, is an annual campaign and has been running since 1984.
Portfolio Holder for Community, Culture and Resident Engagement, Councillor Sue Anderson said: “Harrow has an army of unsung heroes who have a passion and commitment to help their community. On National Volunteers’ Week, we want to celebrate their work and inspire others to volunteer.
“The launch of Harrow’s Heroes is a chance for us to say a big thank you, and give our volunteers a little bit of recognition for their contribution in making our borough a better place. If you know a person or group who has gone above and beyond to help your community, please nominate them for this year’s Harrow’s Heroes.”
Residents are also encouraged to give their local volunteers a big shout-out using the hashtag #shoutoutHarrow on social media. For further information on Harrow to nominate and for terms and conditions, please visit www.harrow.gov.uk/harrowheroes
