Last Wednesday 7th May we were thrilled to attend the Herne Hill Society Excellence Awards, which celebrates those who make a positive contribution to life in Herne Hill. Awards were presented by Helen Hayes, MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, and the event was masterfully led by Rebecca Tee, Chair of the society.

Two local residents nominated us in the Community Category, which identifies organisations and groups which represent a community resource for the area.

There were 67 nominations overall, with 49 in ‘our’ category, and we were selected for the final 3 alongside Jessop School Dads & Male Carers Club and the superb Herne Hill Free Film Festival. We are very proud to have been bestowed a Highly Commended award among such credible competition!

The Judges (Sheila Northover, Colin Wight, and Patrick Roberts) commented:

“We assessed all 67 of the entries as a team, which was an exhilarating task. We would like to thank all those who submitted such a wide range of inspiring nominations, in all three categories. We were particularly impressed by nominations which were innovative; reached out  to the community; drew in and engaged volunteers; enhanced the attractiveness of Herne Hill; and were sustainable.”

Innovative, community-centred, engaged, sustainable… that’s us!

We’ll leave you to decide on our attractiveness 🙂
