IMPACT RECOGNISED WITH AWARD WIN

In November the Trust brought home the East Midlands Chamber Nottinghamshire Business Awards for Community Impact. The Business Awards are a showpiece events in the regional business calendar, recognising and promoting the best of Nottinghamshire’s businesses and is a celebration of success, determination, and hard work.

The Community Impact award acknowledges businesses, charities and social enterprises that have developed and implemented Corporate Social Responsibility policies as part of their overall business planning. Nottingham Forest Community Trust was shortlisted by a panel of judges and was up against strong competition.

The award criteria also included companies’ impact on the local community where the Trust played a big part in tackling holiday hunger by being appointed Nottingham City Council’s lead partner for the Holiday Activity & Food programme – pledging to provide local children with free activities and healthy meals during the school holidays.

AS A TRUST, WE ALWAYS PUT OTHERS FIRST AND THIS AWARD WIN COMES AT A TIME WHEN PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY NEED SUPPORT MORE THAN EVER AND WE’RE HERE TO SERVE THOSE PEOPLE. I AM IMMENSELY PROUD OF THE TEAM WE HAVE AT THE TRUST, WHOSE CONTINUED DEDICATION AND TIRELESS EFFORT HAS BEEN A MASSIVE CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS ACHIEVEMENT.
