Do you know a child, family or charity deserving of recognition in this year’s Ward & Partners Children’s Awards?

Then don’t delay because it is almost time for nominations to close.

The county’s bravest children, most dedicated fundraisers, exceptional carers and most courageous families will be celebrated at an amazing awards lunch and party later this year and we want to be sure you’ve told us about everyone in your community who could be deserving of such a special day out.

There are six categories looking for nominations this year.

Among them is ‘triumph over adversity’ in which we are looking for children in three different age categories who are working to overcome an illness or disability.

However large or small their achievement or their battle, our judging panel would like to hear all about it.

These could be youngsters in your street, your child’s school, within your family or at a sports club or group that you belong to.

Organisers Ward and Partners and the Kent Community Foundation, together with the KM Media Group, are already planning this year’s fantastic Halloween themed gala lunch and we’d love to see the tables full with as many deserving youngsters and their families as possible.

There are even awards for entire families so if you know a courageous bunch then please do get in touch and tell us before the nomination period closes on Wednesday, July 5.

Tell us exactly why the person or group that you know deserve county-wide recognition and the chance to win a fabulous prize!

All finalists will be invited to the awards ceremony on Friday, October 27.
