Novacroft is proud to sponsor the ‘Brilliant’ category of the Northamptonshire Community Foundation Awards 2017.
This year’s annual event is being held in Northampton’s Derngate Theatre on Tuesday 14th November.
Giving back to the community and recognising the valuable contributions of community members is close to Novacroft’s heart and we’ll be on hand to present the winner of the ‘Brilliant’ category with their award.
The ceremony will see groups from across Northamptonshire including Kettering, Wellingborough, Daventry and Northampton all contending for awards.
A counselling service for young people, a friendship group supporting isolated individuals, a breakdancing competition, an environmentally friendly arts festival and a centre providing support to the most vulnerable in our community are amongst the Northamptonshire groups nominated for awards at the Foundation’s annual ceremony.
All nominated groups received funding from the County’s independent grant giving charity, Northamptonshire Community Foundation in 2016-17, funding which enabled the projects to develop and thrive.
The variety in groups nominated for awards in the Foundation’s categories reflects the outstanding diversity in the grants awarded by Northamptonshire Community Foundation.
Victoria Miles, Chief Executive of Northamptonshire Community Foundation, said:
Our Annual Awards evening has become a much anticipated celebratory event in the county calendar and one that we all very much look forward to in recognising the outstanding successes of our unsung heroes.
In addition to the categories and nominees listed there will be awards made on the evening to recognise outstanding contribution to the community with the High Sheriff Initiative Award and the Lady Juliet Townsend Award.
Awards will also be given to the winners of our Capture your Community photography competition, highlighting and celebrating community life in Northamptonshire.
