Do you know someone who...

...is a good role model for others?
...has made a meaningful contribution to their community?
...deserves recognition for their efforts?

If so, why not consider nominating them for the 2005 Bob Cotton Citizenship Award?

The deadline for nominations is 13 May 2005.

The award is run by UNISON, which represents 1.3 million workers in the public services.

The award is in its fifth year and was created to commemorate Bob Cotton, a member of UNISON's governing body, the national executive committee, who was killed in the Ladbroke Grove rail crash on 5 October 1999.

Bob was an extremely active member of his community - as a trade unionist, councillor, school governor, and active Labour Party member. It is only fitting then that any prize in his name should go to other, generous individuals who have made a meaningful contribution to their community.

Anyone can make nominations, and anyone can be nominated. This award is not restricted to UNISON members. Individuals or teams can be nominated.

The winner will receive a donation for the charity or organisation of their choice, plus an actual award for the winner to keep. The presentation takes place at UNISON's annual conference in Glasgow from 20-24 June.
