• Make nominations online for Fife's 2023 Volunteering and Voluntary Sector Awards.
  Nominations close on Wednesday 19 April.

  
  Many organisations and volunteers are doing some truly exceptional work and fully deserve special recognition. We're inviting you to nominate those outstanding volunteers and organisations to receive that recognition and an award at our Awards Ceremony.
  
  Our celebrations this year will be held at the Glen Pavilion in Dunfermline. Those shortlisted for Awards will receive an invitation to the Ceremony, along with the person who nominated them.
  
  Our event is attracting a lot of interest and a healthy amount of sponsorship this year. Partners are keen to join with us, and you, in celebrating our sector and the work we do. The event can only be a success with your support - please nominate your volunteers and those organisations who you think deserve an award.
  
  The Awards Ceremony is reliant upon people making nominations - this form allows you to do just that. Please complete it to the best of your ability and contact us if you need assistance.
