Last week, 3SG's Director (Becky) and Project Manager (Miles) had the pleasure of attending the 2022/23 Community Awards, at a special ceremony in Henrietta Park in which the winners were revealed by Chair of the Council, Councillor Shaun Stephenson-McGall.
BaNES Council's Community Awards recognise those who have made outstanding contributions to their local communities, and 3SG were delighted to be a part of acknowledging their efforts.
Out of 60 nominations, from 7 different categories, 12 triumphant individuals were presented with a Community Award. This year's ceremony also included the planting of cherry blossom trees for each winner, as a lasting tribute to mark their achievements.
Amongst the 12 winners were several nominations from organisations that we are honoured to call 3SG members; special congratulations to Southside Family Project, Age UK, Mentoring Plus, The Community Farm, SWALLOW, Oasis and last but by no means least, Youth Connect South West!
