GRAVESHAM’s community heroes are set to be celebrated once again as nominations open for the Pride of Gravesham awards.

Nominations for the awards, for people who make a difference to the lives of people through a voluntary contribution, will close at 5pm on March 31.

The awards have five categories for individuals who have made a special contribution to young people, old people, the community or cultural diversity, or for a group which has contributed to the community.

Nominations can be made using a form on the council’s website, gravesham.gov.uk, or by picking up a hard copy from the Civic Centre in Windmill Street, Gravesend.

For further information on the awards contact Jackie Denton on 01474 337725.
