Dragon Awards 2010
The Lord Mayor's Dragon Awards are inviting applications for
their new Community Partners Award which aims to acknowledge the
important role that community organisations play in delivering
Corporate Community Involvement.
This Award will recognise good practice and innovation by
community based organisations in working with businesses and in
facilitating their involvement in the community. It celebrates ways
in which effective partnerships are built and maintained so that
the benefits of corporate involvement (and especially employee
volunteering) are maximised.
Application is via a short 3 question application form available
on the Dragon Awards website. Judges will be looking for innovative
and effective ways of working with businesses or public bodies
that:
- Engage and manage corporate interest
- Build and maintain relationships through effective
communications and relationship management
- Engage, manage and support employee volunteers in a range of
different roles
- Evaluate the value of the partnership and ways in which it can
be strengthened
- Have an eye to the future when the level of corporate
involvement may change
Community organisations can apply themselves or may be nominated
by businesses and public bodies. As with the other Dragon Award
categories, the size and resources of the community organisation
will be taken into account and their may be scope for more than one
award to be given within this category.
Community organisations are also welcome to nominate their
corporate partners in any of the other five categories. Please see
the website for more information and contact the Dragon Awards for
more information or any help or guidance with submitting an
application.
The closing date for applications is the 19th July 2010.
