Do you know someone who shows great courage? Deserves special thanks? Goes that extra mile? At Girlguiding Nottinghamshire, we have our own awards too
These might be adults or girls who keep attending despite difficult circumstances, those who ‘go the extra mile’ and those who provide a full and varied programme despite difficulties. Is there someone, whether they are in uniform or not, whose advice or support makes a difference? Then nominate them for an award.
Being recognised for the service to your local community is a very special honour, so if you think someone deserves recognition then nominate them. Don’t think everyone else will do it because someone could miss out.
You have the chance to nominate someone special for a variety of awards as detailed below:
