The awards, for which nominations are now open, are for the following categories: Grassroots Award; Project/Organisation of the Year; Volunteer of the Year; Youth Volunteer of the Year; The Lady Rose Crossman Lifetime Achievement Award; and Local Business Support Award.

The namesake Lady Ross Crossman award is in honour of the forum’s first president, who died in August. It will be given to an individual who, for the last 10 years or more, has made a major contribution to the voluntary sector and is a true inspiration to others.

Nominations for all awards are welcome from charities and voluntary and community groups of any size.

These awards will be decided by a panel of judges from the North Northumberland Network and trustees of the Voluntary Forum.

To nominate, visit www.nnvforum.org.uk. The deadline for nominations is 5pm on Monday, June 4.
