Nominating a group for the award
You can nominate any volunteer group if you know about the work they do. However, you can’t nominate a group that you are a part of, for example if you are a volunteer or a staff member.
Filling in the nomination form
You must return the nomination form by post or fax to the administrator of the award. You can’t send the nomination form by email because you need to sign the form.
