“Recognising Voluntary Excellence”
The Brannel Good Citizen Award is an initiative set up by St Stephen in Brannel Parish Council and is aimed at recognising those connected with the Parish who give up their time to provide support, services, activities or other works which benefit the villages and residents of Coombe, Foxhole, High Street, Lanjeth, Nanpean, St Stephen, Treviscoe and Whitemoor.
Nominees can be a local organisation whose members give their time voluntarily or an individual who has gone above and beyond to help the Parish in an unpaid professional capacity.
Nominations will also be considered for outstanding achievements in sports and culture, exceptional community spirit and for activities that have led to the Parish receiving national or international recognition.
There are three different categories:
Young Citizen of the Year
For those aged 17 and under (On date of Chairman Community Event)
Good Citizen of the Year
For those over 18 years of age (On date of Chairman Community Event)
Lifetime Achievement Award
For outstanding long-term service of the community
To qualify for an award the candidate(s) must be connected to St Stephen in Brannel Parish. (e.g. live, work, attend school or volunteer within the parish boundary) and be nominated by someone who also has a connection.
Nominations must be made in writing using the official nomination form, available from the Parish Council office or website. Each nomination must include details of the nominee’s contribution and the impact on the community.
The award can be presented to two or more individuals if they have collaborated on the contribution
A panel comprising of the Chairman and Vice Chairman of Full Council plus one other Councillor will make a recommendation to the Full Council if there are more than three candidates per category. If less, the nominations will be decided by the panel. The council or panel’s decision is final.
No serving member or employee of St Stephen in Brannel Parish Council within the last 5 years can be nominated. Immediate family of serving members or employees are also excluded to prevent conflicts of interest.
The names and achievements of award recipients will be publicised in council communications, including the website, newsletter, and social media, unless the recipient requests otherwise.
