THE hard work of volunteers is to be recognised through a new awards scheme launched by Wiltshire Council.
Supported by NHS Wiltshire, the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Awards will honour people working on exceptional or innovative schemes that help to transform the lives of people in the county.
There will be six team award categories consisting of: Partnership working, Innovation, Best community initiative nominated by an area board, Most inclusive approach, Community leadership and Volunteer of the year, and there is also a Making a Difference award for the overall winner.
The awards ceremony will take place at the Corn Exchange in Devizes on October 19.
For more details visit www.wiltshire.gov.uk or call Leanne Homewood on 01225 713150. The deadline for all applications is July 16.
