NOMINATE YOUR LOCAL HEROES

The Pride of Queens Cross Awards are back for 2024 and it’s now time to submit your nominations. The awards, which are held every two years, will take place on Friday 4th October at the Grand Central Hotel. By giving special recognition to your favourite local business, community group, resident, or QC staff member, you too will be invited to the main event if they make the final shortlist. We might be slightly bias, but there are many of our Workspace tenants who deserve a shoutout!

There are eight different categories to consider:

1. Making a difference (for local residents and QC staff)

   This award recognises those who have made a difference to the lives of people in their community. It could be as part of a community group or activity, volunteering or through providing excellent service to a tenant.
   

2. Customer first (for QC staff and local businesses)
   This award is for people and businesses who put customers first in everything they do. They are dedicated to providing the best possible service, always putting people at the heart of their work. This could be highlighted by their work on a particular project.
   

3. Leadership (for local residents and QC staff)
   The Leadership award is for people who are role models. They show us all how to deliver for the people and communities of Queens Cross. They may be managers or community group leaders but could also lead by the way they motivate and positively influence others.
   

4. Community activity (for local groups, clubs and activities)

   This award is for a community group or activity which has improved the lives of its participants. It may be an activity which gets people moving, engages their brain and improves their health and wellbeing. Or it could be a group which provides residents with help or support.
   

5. Improving neighbourhoods (for local residents and QC staff)
   This award recognises a group or individuals who inspire and create positive change in our neighbourhoods. This could be through improving the local environment or through actions which aim to make our communities a better place to live and work.
   

6. Young person’s making a difference (for local residents and QC staff age 25 and under)
   This award celebrates young people or a young person age 25 or younger who have inspired others with their achievements. They may have shown commitment to learning and education in difficult circumstances, fundraised for a good cause or have helped people in the community.
   

7. Local business (for local businesses)
   This award seeks to recognise and celebrate our local business community. The company will have demonstrated commitment to growing their business with the Queens Cross community in mind.
   

8. Good neighbour (for local residents)
   This award recognises residents who go out of their way to help their neighbours and friends. They show care, compassion and commitment.
