Giving recognition to local unsung heros

The Community Gold Awards aim to give recognition to individuals in the St Albans district who have selflessly gone that extra mile to make a real difference to community life. They are being sponsored by Debenhams Ottaway in association with the St Albans Review newspaper.

The awards will run throughout 2010. Nominations could come from any part of the community including: schools, charities, sports club, businesses, and essential services and even from friends and neighbours.

Each month the judges select a winner from the nominations. The winner is presented with an Award and their profile is featured in the Review. At the end of the year all winners will be invited to a celebratory dinner.

Details of the winners can be found on the Review’s web site at http://www.stalbansreview.co.uk/news/communityawards/
