TIME TO NOMINATE!
RCVDA are delighted to confirm that we will once again be holding our annual Volunteer Awards event to celebrate the thousands of inspirational people who give their time, freely, to help our communities in so many remarkable ways.
Covid restrictions prevented us from formally recognising our volunteers in 2020 and 2021 – a time when people from our region stepped up, going above and beyond to help and support their communities, their neighbours, and our voluntary organisations, so there is even more to acknowledge this year.
Anyone who wishes to nominate a volunteer or team of volunteers need to click on the link below for the nomination form: You will then receive an automatic acknowledgement that we have received your submission

CATERORIES
Health and Wellbeing:
An award for a group or individual who, through volunteering, has made a positive impact on the physical health, the mental health, or the lifestyle of residents in the community. This could be via befriending, sports activity, health support groups etc.
Innovation/Enterprise:
This category is for those innovative entrepreneurs (either individual or a group) who are making a difference by doing things differently. We are looking for where a new idea, new method of delivery or new approach has been successful.
Empowered through Volunteering Award:
This award is for a volunteer who has gained new skills and knowledge through volunteering. This individual will have broken down barriers and learnt new skills which has raised their aspirations regarding their career path.
Outstanding Community Group:
The recipient of this award will be a group or team who have dedicated years of service in support of their community, or who have worked to successfully deliver a project they are passionate about.
Young Volunteer (under 21):
Do you know a young person who embodies all that is good about the young people in our area? For example, young people who are promoting intergenerational activities, fundraising or protecting and campaigning for the environment.
Volunteer of the Year:
An award for an individual who has gone ‘above and beyond’ over the last year. This could recognise the amount of time they have dedicated to a particular project; or could acknowledge the amount of time they have contributed to make a difference to another person’s life, or for the benefit of their community.
Volunteer Team:
This award will recognise a team who, in working together, have created positive change. This award will recognise their commitment and determination and highlight the importance of teamwork.
Outstanding Trustee:
Charity trustees work behind the scenes, strengthening and driving an organisation forward, but people may not realise that a trustee is also a volunteer, without whom we wouldn’t have charities. We would like to recognise a trustee who has been outstanding in their support of a charitable organisation.
RCVDA Lifetime Achievement:
The lifetime achievement award will recognise a dedicated individual who, through years of positive service, has made a significant impact to their community, or who has consistently delivered community projects they are passionate about.
