Nominations for the 2018 David Price Award are now open
The David Price Award will recognise an individual who, in an unpaid capacity, has helped change the life of an adult or adults in Herefordshire.
The award is in memory of David Price who sadly passed away in May 2016. David, who was diagnosed with a hereditary condition as a teenager which causes multiple benign tumours on the skin, brain, spine and internal organs, was an active member of the county's Making it Real group. The group is the voice of people who experience adult social care in Herefordshire and the annual award commemorates David's valuable contribution.
The award is supported by Herefordshire Council and is aimed at family members, friends, unpaid carers, neighbours, support workers, members of groups or organisations, colleagues or volunteers; anyone who makes a difference without being paid for it.
A nomination should demonstrate clear examples of one or more of the following:
