The Pride of Shropshire Awards are back for their third year – hosted by the Shropshire Partnership, in conjunction with the Shropshire Star and Muller Dairies.
Nominations are now open for the awards, which aim to celebrate those unsung heroes who help to make Shropshire such a good place to live and work.
There are nine categories, and one overall champion. The categories are:
- Best New Business idea
- Courage
- Good Neighbour
- Environmental Project
- Special Young Person
- Healthy Life
- Community Group
- Carer
- Learner
Last year’s overall winner was Teina McGarry, a volunteer worker with family support service Home-Start. The huge learning curve of Teina was recognised by judges who chose her for the individual Learner Award.
Based at Home-Start’s Whitchurch office, she appeared to have no self-confidence when she went for her job interview three years ago, recalled her co-ordinator Delia Beckett. But Teina went on to support two families in difficulty as well as attending development programmes.
Delia said: “I have watched as Teina has increased in self-confidence and has made a difference to our organisation.”
If you know a person, or group of people, who are equally as deserving as our class of 2009, nominate them for a 2010 Pride of Shropshire award by following the link from this page.
Closing date for categories is 28 March.
