Do You Know Someone Who Deserves a Civic Honour?
Your chance to nominate the people making a difference in H&F's community
The first Hammersmith & Fulham Civic Honours are now open for nominations in 15 categories.
The council says you have been bowled over by a single act of bravery or been impressed by the consistent kindness of voluntary groups.
Whoever you’re grateful for, this is your chance to say thank you by nominating them for one of these categories:
- Most dedicated volunteer
- Acts of courage and compassion
- Contributions to art and culture
- Contributions to heritage
- Sporting achievements
- Young people’s achievements (people aged under 25)
- Most dedicated teacher
- Most dedicated carer
- Community spirit
- Improving our environment
- Lifetime achievement
- Bringing people together
- Celebrating diversity
- Contributions to health and wellbeing
- Most dedicated social worker
You can nominate anyone who lives, works, studies or volunteers in our borough, or any community organisation working in H&F. The council says you can’t nominate yourself, but if you’ve done something you’re proud of, you can encourage others to put your name forward.
Nominees will have
- Gone the extra mile to provide services and improve the quality of life for local people
- Given outstanding service to the community over a number of years or in connection with an exceptional event or emergency
- Benefitted the community through volunteering or other activities
- Brought credit to the borough at a national level through business, academic, sporting, artistic or cultural achievements.
Nominations close on Sunday 7 January.
All entries will be considered by a panel of judges and finalists in each category will be invited to a gala dinner and awards ceremony at Hammersmith Town Hall on Thursday 1 March.
"I've lived in the borough for most of my life, our committed, compassionate community makes me proud to call Hammersmith & Fulham home," said Cllr Sue Fennimore, Deputy Leader of H&F Council.
"These awards are our chance to say thank you to those people who make a difference – so get in touch and tell us who you are proud of."
You can make your choice using this nomination form.
