Have you got that Friday feeling? It’s the end of the working week (for some, sorry to those of you who will be working), time to look forward to a well-earned weekend rest.
What have you got planned for the weekend? Tonight sees a glittering awards ceremony in neighbouring Ulverston so good luck to everyone who has been nominated there. I’ll be donning my running shoes and no doubt catching up with some of this year’s Love Barrow nominees at the Barrow parkrun – we’ve had a bumper crop of Sports Volunteer and Group nominations for runners this year.
What about other sports? Are you taking part in an activity this weekend where a volunteer goes out of their way to help others and deserves rewarding? Have a think, have a look around and see if you can spot someone worthy of a nomination, then come back and hit the nomination tab at the top of this page and get them entered.
Are you doing something with the kids – again, we’re looking for nominations for Young Citizen of the Year – I’m sure everyone comes across a child who goes out of their way to help others, it may even be your own child, there’s no restriciton on nominating them.
And what about those businesses who do their bit for the community of Barrow – a quick look around the town centre and the beautiful floral displays tells you why Continental Landscapes have been nominated in that category – there are plenty of local (and national) businesses supporting our community through sponsorship, volunteers etc – have a think and if you stumble upon a company who are helping others, get them nominated.
Have a good weekend everyone, whatever your plans and keep on the look out for potential nominees.
The blog will be busy all weekend, keep checking back or watch our social media accounts, We’ve still got nominees to tell you about.
