Age Takes Centre Stage Awards 2009

Celebrating the achievements of people over 50 in North Tyneside.

 This year we are inviting nominations in three categories:

·        Older People Together –  this is to celebrate  the achievements of groups (based in North Tyneside and in which at least half the members are over 50) that give older people more opportunities to enjoy life and contribute to the community.  We welcome all nominations, but this year we are particularly inviting nominations for groups which have enabled greater involvement in cultural activities by over 50s (arts, music, drama, writing etc)

·        Individual Achievement in Volunteering - for a person aged over 50 who has given a lot to the community in North Tyneside as a volunteer.

·        Above and Beyond the Call of Duty – for an individual who has done a lot in a voluntary capacity/outside of any paid work to make life better for people over 50 in North Tyneside.

The awards are sponsored by Age Concern North Tyneside and presented at a special awards ceremony hosted by DFDS Seaways.  This will be held during the Age Takes Centre Stage festival in October on board the ship ms KING OF SCANDINAVIA while docked at Royal Quays.

 All nominated individuals, and representatives of nominated groups will be invited to the Awards Ceremony, as well as everyone who makes a nomination.

 Tell us who you would like to see celebrated using the nomination form available by clicking here.  Please note that no-one who has been nominated in the previous two years may be nominated again this year.  However anyone may nominate, no matter what earlier participation they have had in the Age Takes Centre Stage Awards.
