The latest date for a Truro Civic Award nomination is December 30. The programme was set up to celebrate hard-working community volunteers and ensure they are given due recognition.

The board is especially keen to receive more nominations in the junior category, so if you know anybody aged 18 and under who goes out of their way to help their communities – for example, as litter pickers, fundraisers, domestic helpers or group leaders – submit your nomination to [email protected]

Nominations will be assessed in January and the presentation evening is provisionally planned for March.

Last year’s junior category winner was eight-year-old litter-picker Roman Caruana-Williams, who received his award during a packed ceremony at Truro Methodist Church.
