Congratulations to everyone involved in our Civic Awards, which were a real success again this year. Huge credit goes to our small staff team who organise the event and make it such a great celebration. This work is all carried out in addition to people’s daily duties. Their contribution speaks to the culture we are creating here at Runnymede, where our people take pride in their work and being a part of a successful and community-minded borough. Well done to all involved.
So proud to lead on the delivery of the Runnymede Civic Awards 2025 - now in it's 3rd year and continues to grow (we are going to need a bigger room)! Once again we filled the room with some of the most wonderful and talented people of Runnymede in recognition of their fantastic contributions to the community. The emotional and humbling ceremony which is filled with laughter and a few tears is the culmination of months of planning and hard work - but none of it would be possible with the support of an amazing team from various departments across the council. Couldn't wish for better colleagues who are always happy to roll up their sleeves and do whatever is needed to deliver this heartwarming event... from obtaining sponsorships, collating hundreds of nominations into judging packs and managing guest lists to creating community showcases, building stages and everything in between - it's a true team effort! Very proud and lucky to work with these guys Naomi Barrett, Kara Gristwood, Anthony Jones, Vince Lydon, Andi Roy, Daniel Callaghan, Chris Swatridge, Kate Hall & Katy McGrath Runnymede Borough Council #civicpride #teamwork #civicawards
