Together with Neighbourhood Watch the Co-Op are searching for the Neighbour of the Year 2019, to find the UK’s best neighbours.
The Co-Op are looking for people to nominate their neighbours who go above and beyond to help their neighbourhood and surrounding community. This year’s awards categories are:
- Neighbour of the Year 2019
- Community Spaces Champion 2019
- Neighbour of the Year 2019 (Regional prizes)
The Community Spaces Champion award will celebrate someone who has shown commitment to either save, improve, or use a local space for the good of their neighbours or overall community.
How to nominate
Co-op Members can nominate now on Join In
A panel of judges from Co-op and Neighbourhood Watch will be deciding the winners, which will be announced in November. When nominating, keep in mind the traits of a good neighbour. Good neighbours are people who:
- look out for each other
- are sociable and friendly
- practically helpful
- kind, caring and respectful
The Community Spaces Champion Award will be judged on how people have used a space in their local area to make a difference. This will be things such as setting up a sports match for neighbours at a local park; creating a community garden; setting up a support group in a community; or even helping to save a space from being shut down.
