CSSC North West Region

NW Volunteer of the Year Award

Purpose

The Award recognises the member who has made an outstanding contribution in a single year, this year being 2015; taking into account both their input and impact on the organisation.

Background

CSSC recognises volunteer commitment both nationally and regionally. Throughout CSSC there are hundreds of people who happily give up their time to help make CSSC activity happen. Without them CSSC couldn't begin to offer as much as it does for its members. A national Volunteer of the Year Award recognises an outstanding contribution to CSSC and this regional award recognises efforts specifically by members in the North West region.

Very few of these people expect recognition, but one thing is for sure, they certainly deserve it.
