Civic Recognition Awards 2022

Do you know somebody who has devoted years of voluntary service to the community and deserves some recognition?  Do you know somebody or an organisation, which gained outstanding achievement in their field, including sports, the arts, business or acts of bravery or courage? If the answer to either question is ‘Yes’, we want to hear from you.

Last year saw the continued success of the Council’s schemes for civic recognition.  Over 100 nominations were received, which highlighted the wealth of devoted voluntary service given to the community by the people of Bexley. The civic recognition schemes have been very well received and the Council hopes that this year it will be even better.

 

There are three schemes of civic recognition:

 

Civic Recognition of Young People

 

For young people up to age 18 who have undertaken voluntary service to the community or an individual

 

Civic Recognition of Voluntary Service by Adults

 

For people over the age of 18 who have undertaken voluntary service to the community or an individual over a number of years

 

Civic Recognition of Outstanding Achievement

 

For people of any age or organisation/business who, during the year, have achieved outstanding success in any walk of life including voluntary service, sport and culture, business or acts of bravery or courage

 

If you know somebody who might qualify for civic recognition, you can either phone me in the Mayor’s Office at Bexley on 020 3045 3678 for a nomination form, write to the Mayor’s Office, 2 Watling Street Bexleyheath, Kent DA6 7AT or fill the form in online at
