Royal Borough Volunteer Awards 2012 - Community Safety

Royal Borough Volunteer Awards 2012

Last year we held our inaugral community safety awards where we celebrated individuals' and groups' contribution to making the Royal Borough a safe place to live. The quality of the nominations was high and it was tough decision to choose the winners.

Last year's winners were:
Betty Marlow, chair of Datchet Horton and Wraysbury Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG) and Mike Holness, co-chair of Boyn Hill, Cox Green and Woodlands Park NAG were joint winners of the individual category. Runner-up was Carol McCall, a voluntary community crime fighter in Windsor and deputy chair of Clewer and Oakley Green NAG.

The group winners were Maidenhead Street Angels, with runners-up the Army Welfare Service, Broom Farm, Windsor.

We are hoping to receive even more nominations this year. Get those entries in!
