The prestigious Tenant 2 Tenant awards are returning this year.
The awards are all about shining a light on the many unsung heroes who make estate and neighbourhoods great places to live.
The 2018 awards will be another chance to say a big thank you to people who go the extra mile for the benefit of their neighbours, friends and community, and those that make an extra effort to keep their homes and gardens looking their best.
There are 12 categories up for grabs, ranging from Community project / event of the year, to volunteer of the year; Family project to Good neighbour. There’s also best kept garden, and best room makeover, as well as Housing Legend award and Lifetime Achievement Award.
An awards ceremony will be held in November, but before then, tenants have until June 28 to nominate worthy winners in each award category.
A judging panel, led by Cllr Linda Evans, executive board member for housing, will choose from the nominations submitted.
“These awards are a great way to celebrate tenants and community projects,” said Cllr Evans.
“Nominations have been flooding in for this year’s awards and I am looking forward to meeting everyone at the awards evening in November. It really is a fantastic opportunity to say thank you to the tenants and the efforts they make to go the extra mile to make other people’s lives better.”
