Sandwell Council of Voluntary Organisations - SCVO. Supporting the Growth of Community Action in Sandwell.

Volunteer Centre Sandwell is looking for shining examples of volunteer service to honour and celebrate at a dedicated awards ceremony, part of Sandwell’s contribution to National Volunteer Week celebrations in June. 

Each year, thousands of Sandwellians generously donate their personal time to organisations and projects aimed at changing the lives of local people. The 2010 Volunteer Centre Sandwell Awards will honour a select number of volunteers, who exemplify the highest ideas of volunteer service.

The Awards ceremony will take place at The Public in West Bromwich between 2.00 pm and 4.00 pm on Tuesday 8th June.  There are five award categories:-

Best Environmental Volunteer
Best Corporate Volunteer
Best Health & Social Care Volunteer
Best Young Volunteer
