Our Community Service Awards is a way of giving some well-deserved recognition to unsung heroes of our communities.

Throughout our district, many people work quietly away at making our communities better places to live, often with little recognition and no pay. These individuals make substantial efforts toward achieving the ambitions and goals of their community.

Know someone who deserves to be honored for their hard work? Nominations are now open for the Community Service Awards 2022 until 5 August.

On the front of the medal is the emblem of the old Thames Borough Council coat of arms, resplendent with a mining head frame and poppet head. The back of the medal is a koru-shaped heart emblem, reflecting the colours of the Coromandel's deep blue seas and sandy shores and a link to communities being at the heart of the district.
