In this its 60th year, the Knowle Society wishes to recognise and honour local everyday heroes. During the past few years we have all appreciated our local communities more than ever, and we value all those residents who contribute to Knowle through their time, actions or talents, and make a real difference to where they live. Any local individual resident or group who have contributed to their local community in the past five years can be nominated. All those nominated will receive a Community Award Certificate and 6 nominees will be selected to receive a special award to be presented at the Society’s 60th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday October 8th 2022.
The closing date for all nominations is 31st August 2022. Completed nomination forms can be submitted via the Knowle Society Community Award Box in Knowle Library, emailed to deputychairman@knowlesociety.org.uk or posted to The Deputy Chairman, 1334, Warwick Rd, Knowle, B93 9LQ.
