CPRE Hampshire Countryside Awards Project Manager, Olivia Osorio said:
With still a month to go we have already received some really exciting entries for this year’s awards. There are so many organisations, businesses and individuals doing invaluable work to protect our precious countryside and improve life within it.
The award scheme is the perfect opportunity to shout about this hard work and receive some much-deserved recognition whilst inspiring others to stand up for Hampshire’s countryside. If you know such an organisation or project that has not yet entered feel free to contact me directly to make sure that they don’t slip through the net!
The Countryside Awards are open for entries until 30th June 5pm. For details and to enter online visit www.cprehampshire.org.uk call 01962 841897 or email olivia.osorio@cprehampshire.org.uk
The charity is looking for a videographer to film the award ceremony on 19th September in the presence of the Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Nigel Atkinson Esq, HM The Queen’s personal representative in the County. Find out more about this opportunity from Olivia.
