Agenda item

To receive a verbal update from the Chair on behalf of the Task and Finish Group working on recognising individual volunteers and businesses for the work they did in the community during the pandemic.

The Chair provided an update on the progress of the Task and Finish Group’s plans to celebrate individual volunteers and businesses for the work they had done in the community during the pandemic.  They were proposing certificate and badges and had designed a form (which would need to be available on line) enabling people to nominate people.  The Group also envisaged that the badges could be freely available in the Corn exchange so that if people did not feel comfortable about nominating someone, they could just pick up a badge and give the relevant person.

RECOMMENDED:             that the report be noted and:-

1.            that a budget of £500 be agreed to fund the paper for certificates and the badges;

2.            that the final design of the badges be delegated to the Task and Finish Group.
