Story by Kieron Williams – Area Co-ordinator for the Burngreave Area Panel.
Is there a person or local group who you think has made an outstanding contribution to improving the lives of people in Burngreave? If so we want to hear form you.
The Burngreave Area Panel is now looking for your nominations for the Burngreave New Year’s Honours Awards 2005. We want to acknowledge and celebrate the work people in this area are doing to improve the lives of those around them. As part of this we will once again be awarding Honours to people and groups who have made an outstanding contribution to their local community.
Looking for local heroes
The 2004 awards were a huge success with eight awards being given out to a wide range of people and groups at a packed reception in the Town Hall. We hope to build on this success for 2005 so we can carry on to make this an annual celebration.
We would like to hear who you think the awards should go to. There are three categories of award you can nominate people for:
A local resident living in the area who has made an outstanding contribution to improving the lives of local people.
Someone who works in the area who has made an exceptional difference to the lives of local people above and beyond the call of their job.
A local community group or organisation that has made a major contribution to improving the lives of local people or the quality of the local environment.
If there is a person or group you would like to put forward then please contact the Burngreave Area Action Office on 276 9134 for a nomination form (nominations for 2005 now closed). We will be presenting the awards at special celebratory event on Thursday 27th January 2005 at 6.30pm in the Sheffield Town Hall.
