Braintree District Volunteers Awards

About the Braintree District Volunteer Awards

The Braintree District Volunteer Awards hosted by Braintree District Council and Community360. We are now in the third year and open for nominations. The awards celebrate the valuable contribution volunteers make to the district.  

Who can I nominate?

You can nominate someone who spends time doing something unpaid that benefits individuals or groups or the environment? This can include volunteering through public, private and voluntary organisations as well as informal community participation and social action. It might be fundraising, running a sports club, looking after the environment, organising an event, or helping around the community.
