Nominations are now open for the Reading Volunteer Awards 2019!
Reading Voluntary Action is delighted to announce that we are now accepting nominations for the third annual Reading Volunteer Awards. As in previous years, we will be hosting an awards evening to coincide with Volunteers’ Week 1-7 June, celebrating those in our community who volunteer their time, talents and skills for the benefit of our town.
Nominations can be made by those working or volunteering in local not-for-profit organisations, those who have benefited directly from the work of a volunteer, or members of the general public.
This year will see a number of other events happening to mark Volunteers’ Week and the Reading Volunteer Awards, look out for further announcements in the coming weeks!
