BB in Nottingham recognised by Lord-Lieutenant
Wednesday 21st August 2019On 22nd June The Boys’ Brigade in Nottingham was awarded the Lord-Lieutenant’s Award for Promoting Voluntary Service by the Lord-Lieutenant Sir John Peace at his Summer Reception at his home The Manor in Caunton.
Four Companies around Nottinghamshire; 16th Nottingham (Stapleford), 44th Nottingham & 45th Nottingham (Clifton) and 37th Nottingham (Mapperley), all applied for this award. This was due to the work they have done and are currently doing in their local community ranging from litter picking, collecting items for food banks, volunteering in their local Companies and local community events and collecting bedding and towels for the RSPCA in Radcliffe.
The four Companies were jointly awarded this new award in its first year. Four young people, one from each Company, attended the Summer Reception along with 8 other organisations from Nottinghamshire. The Awards have been introduced by the Lord-Lieutenant to help recognise organisations in Nottinghamshire with outstanding service to their local communities and where there is significant benefit made to the lives of others.
Luke, 11 from from 16th Nottingham said;
“I had a really nice time. It was a fantastic place to celebrate at and the grounds were beautiful. I enjoyed the experience and representing the BB to gain this award made me feel extraordinary. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
