Do you know someone that deserves a medal?
Within our communities, there are lots of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. And here at Gateshead Council, we believe they should stand up, take a bow, and be recognised for the contribution they make to their local community.
The Gateshead Award – presented annually by the Mayor of Gateshead – celebrates all those who, in whatever way, have made a real difference to the lives of others in the borough.
The people’s choice
But it’s not up to us to decide who deserves an award. We want you to nominate who you think should get a Gateshead Award.
This could be someone who volunteers his or her time on a regular basis to a local community group, or charity. They may be part of a theatre or music group or other organisation whose activities benefit the public. Or, they may have been involved in a single act of bravery or an impressive one-off fundraising effort.
Send us your nomination
Whatever the achievement, help us to celebrate it. A nomination form is attached. You need to tell us why you think the person/organisation deserves the award, with support statements from two other people.
Please send your completed nomination form to:
