All over Tower Hamlets there are special people who are working to make things better. People who live, work or study in the area and who help to improve the quality of life for other people. The council’s Civic Awards scheme enables us to thank the borough’s unsung heroes and heroines and give them the recognition they deserve. This year’s scheme is now open. Awards will be given to individuals who work through organisations or their own business to employ local people or provide a service that makes an outstanding contribution to the social, economic and physical wellbeing of the borough. The council speaker, Cllr Abdul Chunu Mukit, said: “I would urge all residents to consider the volunteers who go the extra mile to make a real difference to Tower Hamlets and those who live, work and study in the borough. “Make their day by nominating them for a Civic Award.” Last year, 13 residents were honoured with an award at the annual Civic Awards ceremony held at Bromley Public Hall. If you know of someone, or an organisation, who deserves recognition for their work in the community now is the time to get your nomination in. Judges will be looking for people who: give outstanding service to the community; have brought credit to the borough through sporting, artistic or cultural achievements; have improved the quality of life for local people by providing services, beyond what they are paid to do; have benefited the community through success in business and in community involvement; are a young achiever aged under 25 whose accomplishments are extraordinary and should be recognised. Fill in the form below, with extra sheets if required, and send it to the Speaker’s Office, Town Hall, Mulberry Place, 5 Clove Crescent, Poplar, E14 2BG or by email to speaker@ towerhamlets.gov.uk The deadline for nominations is Friday, February 6. 4 NEWS FROM TOWER HAMLETS COUNCIL AND YOUR COMMUNITY 19 – 25 JANUARY 2015
