Community & Volunteer Awards 2019

Watlington Parish Council and The Watlington Club have recently announced the 2019 Watlington Community & Volunteer Awards to say thank you to the people of Watlington who go that extra mile for the community. Watlington Business Association and our members are proud to be supporting these awards.

There are six categories to enter. Anyone can make a nomination, as long as the person or organisation nominated lives, works or studies in Watlington.

All nominations will be judged on how the individual or organisation has:

• tackled issues that affect people living in Watlington parish;
• made a difference to their community; and
• helped get people involved and inspired others.

 
A panel of judges will meet to discuss a shortlist in detail and find the six winners for 2019. The decision of the awards panel is final and the panel reserves the right not to make awards if there are no eligible nominations.
 
Nominations close on 24th May 2019.
