The new awards, sponsored by community leisure charity Active Life, will champion the individuals, organisations and initiatives who are helping to make life better in the Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay area.
Categories are broad-ranging in the Revival Community Awards and include staff and volunteers from sports clubs, charities, educational establishments, businesses, council and NHS. The awards are not just for those in leadership – they are to thank those on the front line – the unsung heroes whose dedication and effort deliver small but vital success to their organisation or business.
Simon Dolby, Development Lead at East Kent Mind, said: “The judging panel are looking for individuals reviving our community, businesses, clubs and charities. Whose kindness and compassion is supporting the wellbeing of those dearest to us; whose dedication is making learning in the classroom more successful; who are the office stars and retail heroes that make the working environment a success? It’s time to nominate.”
Julio Barros, Regional Active Community Manager at Active Life, said: “Everyone at Active Life is delighted to be supporting the Revival Community Awards. It’s always important to us to help and celebrate the people, companies and organisations who are supporting the mental health and wellbeing of people across our communities.”
