The second ‘Rudd Awards’, organised by Ruddington Village Community Partnership (RVCP) have launched and nominations are now open.
With six categories sponsored by locally based companies covering ‘Sports, leisure and culture’, ‘Village retailer or service’, ‘Village hospitality’, ‘Community Group’, ‘Volunteer or Fundraiser’ and ‘Young Person’, the RVCP team hope to build on the success of the inaugural awards in 2022, which attracted more than 100 nominations from Ruddington residents.
Nominations are now open for people to put forward the individuals, groups and businesses that are making a real difference to building a vibrant and prosperous life in the village. The team are particularly keen to hear about those who demonstrate the core values of RVCP which include collaboration, sustainability, innovation, community focus and raising the profile of the village.
A special seventh award, the “Heart of Ruddington” award, sponsored by the event’s lead sponsor Okarno, will be selected by the awards committee. This honour recognises someone who has made an outstanding contribution to Ruddington Village as an exemplary member of the community.
In 2022 it was awarded to Ruddington resident Barbara Breakwell for her tireless and selfless commitment to supporting local causes.
Nominations are now open and can be made online at www.rvcp.org.uk/awards until 5pm on Sunday 18th February 2024. Paper forms are also available from the Parish Office in St Peter’s Rooms during office hours.
