The Red Squirrel Survival Trust is calling on Cumbria’s red squirrel conservation groups to nominate their volunteer of the year.
To mark Volunteers Week, which runs from June 1 to June 7, The Red Squirrel Survival Trust has launched a new accolade to reward those who work to ensure the future of the UK’s native red squirrel.
The Volunteer of the Year Award has been created specifically for volunteer groups across the UK, to nominate an individual who demonstrates outstanding dedication and effectiveness in their work to protect our endangered native species, the red squirrel.
The key factors for volunteer groups to consider when making their nomination are:
- Length of service as a volunteer.
- Personal qualities the individual brings to their volunteer role (e.g. leadership, organisation, enthusiasm, commitment).
- Any achievements or involvement in particularly noteworthy projects.
Submissions can be made via a simple form on the RSST website www.rsst.org.uk
The closing date for nominations is September 30.
