Awards and Recognition

The County’s Awards and Recognition Team  provide opportunities to thank our amazing volunteers and ensure that they receive the recognition that they deserve. 

Our next County Awards Evening is on Thursday 6th June 2024 at the Willow Tree Centre. All County volunteers and members of our County Trefoil Guilds are invited to attend this event and help us celebrate the achievements of our volunteers and enjoy an evening of socialising with light refreshments. An email will be sent out to all County volunteers and our County Trefoil Guild members. For further details see our Awards Evening Events page.

There are lots of opportunities to nominate volunteers for awards throughout the year, you can read about the Region and National Awards below and how to nominate someone.

Not sure which award to nominate a volunteer or young member for? Contact us at awards@girlguidingmiddxnw.org.uk

We also nominate our volunteers for local community awards like the Hillingdon Community Award and Harrow Heroes and are always looking for future nominations for volunteers within our County that we can put forward for future awards. 

Let’s celebrate our volunteers and thank them for all they do for our young members, fellow volunteers and Girlguiding!
