The Community Action Suffolk awards celebrate individuals and organisations who deserve recognition for their work and commitment to Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector in Suffolk.
Who can I nominate?
You may know someone who gives up their own time, to do things for others.
You may know a local group which is the centre of a community.
You may know a local village hall or community centre, without which lots of activities wouldn’t be possible.
