Nominations for this year’s Awards are open until 12pm on 29 October 2014, so why not nominate someone you know? Anyone can nominate a person, project or group, as long as the work they do is voluntary and they’re based in the south of the city, including St Ann’s, Sneinton, Ransom Road/Mapperley and Clifton. All those shortlisted for an award will be invited to a glittering awards ceremony complete with red carpet on Monday 17 November at The Council House, Old Market Square, Nottingham from 6.30pm to 8.30pm, where the winners will be announced and the awards presented.

Right from the beginning some organisations ‘stepped up’ in response to the unprecedented situation.

Immediately RT had banners made with contact numbers for debt, benefit and employment support and displayed them across the area.” St Ann’s & Sneinton Food Store “They supported us with funds to increase 2 staff working hours to full time so they could work in the food bank alongside our café cook. They also helped us with volunteer expenses for 2 people who attended the centre everyday and whose contributions have been fantastic.
