Community Service Awards nominations are now open!

Community Service Awards are given to individuals and groups in recognition of significant voluntary service.

Council's Community Service Awards are a way of giving well-deserved recognition to people who make our communities better places to live. They are a way of thanking and honouring volunteers who, without pay and with little recognition, demonstrate dedication and passion, inspiring others to make service a central part of their lives.

Whether it's for youth, older adults, education, culture, church, recreation, sport or community service fields, we want to make sure volunteers are thanked and honoured for their dedication.  If you know of someone who deserves recognition for their community service, nominate them for a Community Service Award.

For more information and to submit a nomination, please visit: https://ccc.govt.nz/culture-and-community/community-awards/csa    *Please remember to check the ‘How to nominate’ drop down section of the above website prior to submitting a nomination.
