Do you know someone who’s making a real difference in the Dover community? Someone who goes above and beyond? Well, get ready to shout about them! Dover District Council is thrilled to announce the fourth year of the super-popular environmental awards – the REACH Awards (Recognising Environmental and Community Heroes)!
Everyday heroes are working tirelessly to make the Dover District even better. Think sparkling clean streets, a thriving environment, and a stronger, more united community!
This year, there are four exciting categories, so there’s a perfect fit for everyone who’s making a positive impact:
- Litter Picker of the Year (Over 18): For those dedicated adults keeping our spaces pristine!
- Junior Litter Picker of the Year (Under 18): For our awesome young eco-warriors!
- Community Project of the Year: Celebrating those brilliant initiatives that bring us together!
- Green Organisation of the Year: Recognizing businesses and groups leading the way in sustainability!
And guess what? It’s completely FREE to enter! Nominate yourself or someone you admire! Dover’s looking for individuals and groups who are:
- Organizing epic litter picks!
- Reducing waste and embracing recycling!
- Upcycling and reusing like pros!
- And generally making our district a cleaner, greener place to live!
Let’s hear about your fantastic sustainability initiatives! Whether it’s saving water, going green with products, promoting eco-friendly travel, planting trees, or using renewable energy – we want to celebrate your efforts!
And for the community projects, we’re looking for those inspiring groups that are bringing residents together to make a real difference!
The winners in each category will be rewarded with a certificate, a gleaming trophy, and a moment in the spotlight at our exciting awards ceremony in June 2025!
Dover Cllr Jamie Pout says,
“Our district is full of incredible people, and these awards are our way of saying a huge THANK YOU! We’re celebrating the inspiration, achievement, and environmental impact of our local unsung heroes who are making the Dover District a brighter, greener, and better place for everyone!”
