Individual Community Champion focuses on finding those who have proactively given their help to their neighbours or town at large by raising spirits, selflessly going that extra mile and giving their fellow locals a supportive hand when needed. All acts of kindness, small or large are worth recognising!
Health/Care Worker focuses on finding and recognising the incredible commitment, work and dedication shown by those in the health/care services. Each and every health and care worker has played a vital role in sustaining the core services needed to protect and support our friends, families, neighbours and town.
Community Initiative (group/service) focuses on finding a network/group who have proactively given their help to the community by going above and beyond for fellow locals by helping them through the pandemic, in any way shape or from. In essence, this group, service or initiative - and the people involved - have looked to support Inverurie by way of essential help, collective support and organised assistance which has provided a tangible benefit to others. For example, a craft group, a grocery collection network or a social media group.
Young Person Award focuses on finding young people who have taken action to support their friends, families or neighbours. Furthermore, their initiative and drive to help their town is to be commended and can cover things such as picking up prescriptions, food, fundraising, support around the house, supportive siblings etc.
Fundraising/Charity Project focuses on finding individuals or groups who have dedicated time and energy to raise funds for important charities during the pandemic. With no emphasis on the amount raised, this award looks to find those who have shown dedication, ingenuity and commitment to raising funds for vital causes.
Local Business focuses on recognising the local businesses who gave gone above and beyond during this pandemic. By adjusting, adapting or adopting new services (e.g. delivery, essential items, online options), they have risen to the challenge and the needs facing Inverurie.
