Marsh civic awards

The Marsh Civic Awards are an annual award to recognise an "outstanding contribution to the civic movement" by an individual and a group. The awards are supported by the Marsh Christian Trust. The above  image is Civic Voice Chair Joan Humble presenting the Marsh Young Civic Volunteer Award to Hannah Seager at our annual Convention 2017.

The Marsh Civic Awards for 2018 will be awarded at the Civic Voice Annual Convention in Birmingham on 19/20 October. More information here about the convention.

This is your chance to recognise the “outstanding contribution” made by a group or an individual within the civic movement. We all know someone who has gone the extra mile on a project within our civic groups, or a group who has continued to achieve fantastic results. This is the time to give them that recognition. Anyone can make a nomination so please submit yours before the end of September. The winning civic society will receive £1,000 and the winning volunteer £500 plus framed certificates.
