Nominations now open to thank Canterbury’s heroes

It’s time to get your nominations in for the 2024 Lord Mayor’s Award, which will see unsung heroes from the Canterbury district celebrated for their selfless dedication to helping others. 

There are no age limits and nominations are welcome from all walks of life.  

Nominees must live in Canterbury, Herne Bay, Whitstable or a village in the district, but you don’t have to live in the district to nominate. 

The deadline to put someone forward is Friday 1 November. 

Entries will be judged by the Lord Mayor, Cllr Jean Butcher, and a representative from each of the political groups at the city council. The awards will be presented at a ceremony early next year. 

Cllr Butcher said: “It is always wonderful to read the award nominations and hear about all the incredible people we have in the district supporting communities and making a real difference.  

“Being able to shed light on their brilliant work each year through this award is a huge honour. 

“You could make someone’s day, month or even year by simply taking a few minutes to nominate them, so please do get in touch if you know someone who deserves thanks for what they do.” 

You can nominate online, or hard copy forms are available by calling the Lord Mayor’s office on 01227 862080 or by emailing lordmayor@canterbury.gov.uk.
