Humberside Fire and Rescue Community Awards : Get Nominating

Humberside Fire and Rescue Service is asking members of the public to nominate their local hero. The winner will be chosen by public vote and will be honoured at the Service’s fifth annual Community Awards on Thursday 26 September. Last year’s shortlisted nominees were Gareth Cooke from Hull who saved a neighbour from his burning home and Paul Anderson, also from Hull, who helped save the lives of a mother and daughter from a flat fire. Following a tightly contested public vote, the winner was Gareth who was presented with his award by Chief Fire Officer Richard Hannigan and Kevin Tighe from sponsors DFDS Seaways. Members of the public are being asked to think of someone they know, which could be a family member, friend or colleague who they feel has acted in a heroic manner and is deserving of receiving such an award. Katrina Goodhand, organiser of the Community Awards for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, said: “There will be a number of different awards given at the ceremony, to members of the public, our partners and staff, in recognition of the contribution they have made in creating safer communities.

By

Graham Stuart, the MP for Beverley and Holderness, is encouraging people to nominate the best carers in the area for this year’s Great Yorkshire and Humberside Care Awards. The Awards aim to highlight excellence in all areas of social care whether dealing with the young, the old, the troubled or the sick and cover the state, private and voluntary sectors as well both professionals and the unpaid carer. The ceremony will take place on 9th November 2012, at the National Railway Museum in York. There are nineteen different award categories recognising frontline staff as well as people who have made an impact in other ways such as in training or innovation. Graham said, “The care professions have never been more important to our society whether in supporting troubled families or looking after the sick or elderly. These awards offer the chance to say thank you to people who go the extra mile, even in the most difficult circumstances. Too often their contribution goes unnoticed without proper thanks while any failures are front page news. “Those who work in social care do such an important job for the benefit of so many people. By nominating a valued carer someone can bring…

Due to the recent appearance of sunny weather, it has been decided that the closing date for Sewerby Hall and Gardens’ Coast, Sea and Sky competition is to be extended until Friday, 31 August. The theme for the competition is open to personal interpretation of the coast, sea and sky, but entries must have the natural world at heart and be taken within East Yorkshire. The winning photograph in each category (junior and senior) will receive a professionally mounted print supplied by Ben Walker of Gallerina Studios along with a 2013 family season pass and a copy of the new Adventurer’s Guide to Sewerby Hall and Gardens.
