Congratulations to Cia Merrall and Ella Smith, very worthy winners of two community awards presented by Upchurch Parish Council in August this year.
The KALC - Community Awards Scheme 2021
Cia was awarded the Kent Association of Local Councils - Community Award 2021 in the community of Upchurch.
The annual KALC - Community Awards are to acknowledge and give recognition to those who have made a significant contribution to their local community.
Cia's certificate reads:
“Awarded for:
Unstinting service to Upchurch during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shopping and prescription collections for vulnerable residents; food parcels and fresh food for families experiencing food poverty and Christmas stockings for children.”
Upchurch Parish Council - Upchurch Young Person Award Scheme 2021
Ella was awarded the first ever Upchurch Young Person Award 2021.
Because many young people across the country also made outstanding contributions to their local communities during the Coronavirus pandemic, Upchurch Parish Council decided to present a young person award this year.
Ella's certificate reads:
“Awarded for:
Making a significant difference to the lives of children in the village during a worldwide pandemic by sourcing and hiding 170 mystery gifts around the village for the children to find on their walks.”
Thank you, Cia and Ella, and to all this year's nominees for everything you do to help within the community of Upchurch 👏🏼
