There’s still chance to nominate your community champions for an ‘OSCA’
TIME is running out to nominate your community champions in a special “OSCA” ceremony.
Safer Communities will be holding another Outstanding Safer Community Awards (OSCAs) on Tuesday December 2 at Grimsby Town Hall. But the closing date for nominations is Friday, September 19, so if a member of your organisation deserves praise for their stellar work in the community – this is your chance to provide it.
The OSCAs is a prestigious occasion that aims to recognise, give honour and praise to those individuals, groups and organisations that work hard to make North East Lincolnshire a better and safer place to live.
As many of you know, this isn’t an easy task, but the event highlight’s a myriad of groups and individuals that rally are making a huge contribution to community safety.
The awards night was last held in November 2006 and was a great success. It really illustrated just how much good work is going on in the local community. The Grimsby Town Hall was packed to the rafters with people doing their bit for Community Safety. It was fantastic to hear so many positive initiatives all geared towards making the area a better place to live and work.
Our host for the evening will be local star of stage and screen, Julie Peasgood. This will be the third time Julie has hosted the awards and she is looking forward to see what has been happening within North East Lincolnshire.
There are ten categories to nominate for and they are:
Public Sector Community Safety Scheme
Community led Community Safety Scheme
Working with Difficult to Engage Groups
Encouraging Engagement and Community Participation
Standing up against Anti-Social Behaviour
Award to an Individual who has contributed to Community safety in North East Lincolnshire
Anyone is able to nominate a person or group for any of the awards. If you would like a nomination form, call the Safer Communities team on 01472 324990.
