Sandwell Council is looking for Bostin People and Places to feature on their new Celebrate Sandwell website and on social media in the run up to the Commonwealth Games – and they know that Sandwell’s Voluntary and Community Sector has lots of absolutely fantastic folk.
It might be a Bostin Person, like Makena, who’s going to be one of Sandwell’s Queen’s Batonbearers, or you might know someone who goes the extra mile for others, has overcome diversity, achieved great things … or simply makes others smile.
A Bostin Place could be somewhere you run a group or club, a place you enjoy walking, cycling or exercising – or simply somewhere close to your heart in Sandwell.
Nominations can be made via the online form on the Celebrate Sandwell website or by emailing celebrate_sandwell@sandwell.gov.uk
Don’t be shy … nominate your Bostin Person / Bostin Place now!!
