Alex encourages entries to the Community Sports and Recreation Awards

The Sport and Recreation Alliance is holding its Community Sports and Recreation Awards, and Stockton North MP Alex Cunningham is encouraging local organisations to self-nominate.

The awards celebrate grassroots sport and recreation for over twenty years, and champion grassroots work on a national scale, using examples of best practice to drive positive, societal change. Categories for the awards are: Community Engagement, Creative Partnerships, Mental Health, Volunteering, and Youth Development. The Awards will be held next March, with each winner receiving £1000.

Alex said:

It is well known that grassroots sport organisations do vital work in promoting community cohesion, tackling social isolation, and getting people fit and active – and I know there are many fantastic sports groups here in Stockton North.

These awards are a great way to celebrate the work local clubs and groups do – and offer the chance to win a cash prize – and I’d encourage groups from Stockton North to apply

Nominations close on 25 November.
