St Andrews Parish Council looking for next Community Hero

Swindon's St Andrews Parish Council are looking for nominations for their next Community Hero.

The team at St Andrews Parish Council are inviting residents to nominate people who they feel deserve particular thanks for the work they do within the community.

The Annual Community Hero Award is presented to an individual, people, organisation or business who have been nominated by residents of St Andrews Parish in recognition of exceptional service.

The Council says people, organisations or businesses who are eligible for consideration for an award must have either carried out special or sterling service to the community or achieved something special for the community of the area of St Andrews. They do not have to live or operate in the St Andrews Parish Council area but must have completed their good works within the Parish.

Last year, St Andrews Parish Council  awarded their first ‘Community Hero Award’ to recognise ‘outstanding contribution to the local community’, to The Ridge Wombles, a local litter picking group.

Chairman of the Parish Council, Cllr Vera Tomlinson along with Cllr Jean Blake and the full St Andrews Parish Council turned out to make the presentation to representatives of The Ridge Wombles on Wednesday, 14 July at 7 pm at Redhouse Community Centre.

This year the award will be presented at the Annual Parish Meeting, which will be held in May 2022.

Only people who are residents within the St Andrews Parish Council area may nominate a person for an award.

Nominations should be made by 31 March on a form available from the Parish Office or downloaded from the Parish website at https://www.standrews-pc.gov.uk/.
