Creating Better Futures Awards 2010 - 08/02/2010
For the last ten years Yorkshire Forward has worked with a wide range of partners to support community-based economic development. During this time we've seen many inspiring projects, along with the organisations managing them, which deserve to be better promoted. The Yorkshire Forward Creating Better Futures Awards highlights successful partnerships between the private sector and voluntary, community and faith (VCF) organisations. The awards aim to demonstrate the true partnership working between the sectors and encourage the sharing and development of skills, knowledge and ability within the community economic development agenda, whilst promoting best practice.
Previous winners have demonstrated inspirational partnership working between the sectors and the awards recognised the dedication and passion of those involved in the projects.
What are we looking for?
There will be seven awards made to partnerships which have demonstrated; diversity, innovation, leadership, ambition - in short, all those qualities which make for a successful and dynamic partnership. One of the seven awards will be made to a successful partnership between the VCF sector and an organisation in the public sector.
Why should you apply?
Awards will be presented to both organisations, along with a £10,000 grant for the VCF organisation involved in the partnership. Receiving an award will ensure your efforts are recognised and increase your profile. It could even generate new opportunities, enhance relationships or lead to new collaborations. Your success will be shared at the awards evening in July with further media coverage throughout the region following the event.
