Nominations open for Camden’s first faith awards
Camden Council is hosting the borough’s first ever Faith Awards to celebrate the outstanding contributions faith organisations make to their local communities.
Camden’s Interfaith Network, in partnership with the Faith & Belief Forum, are set to launch the borough’s first ever Faith Awards to shine a light on the vital work of local voluntary and community organisations.
Residents are now able to nominate organisations they feel make a real difference within their communities, with winners announced at an awards ceremony taking place on Thursday 23 May at Camden Town Hall.
Across five categories, the awards will celebrate those who have gone above and beyond to support residents. The categories are:
- Building connected communities and neighbourhoods
- Tackling poverty
- Welcoming and supporting refugees
- Inspiring children and young people
- Outstanding individuals
We are incredibly excited to launch Camden’s first Faith & Belief Community Awards. Camden has a long-standing history of working in partnership with our local faith representatives to support community cohesion. We are fortunate to have so many active faith and community representatives who come together during both the challenging and good times to improve the lives of residents. This is an opportunity to highlight the incredible work happening across the borough and celebrate those organisations and individuals that make such a difference to Camden.
We are so pleased to be hosting the next Faith & Belief Community Awards in partnership with Camden Council. The awards are about celebrating and honouring those in Camden who, often go unrecognised, but who nevertheless make a huge positive impact on local people in Camden. I encourage everyone to nominate an outstanding group or individual to receive an award at this special event!
Nominations for the awards are open from today (15 March) to Sunday 14 April.
The Faith & Belief Forum was founded in 1997 and works to build good connections between people of all faiths and beliefs and create a society where difference is celebrated.
