The Arthur Hewlett Award presentation

Date: 8/11/09

Details: MAW is instituting an annual award of three hundred pounds in memory of our benefactor Arthur Hewlett. The first award will be presented this year during the AGM. There are many small peace and peace and justice groups all over the UK doing valuable work arranging events or undertaking projects that encourage people to become involved in working for peace. Many of these groups exist on tiny budgets and a boost to their funds would enable such a group to continue with a project, help set up a new one or arrange a public event. Do you know of such a group that you would like us to consider? The recipient will be a group that: supports MAW's aims, campaigns/informs/educates locally on a range of peace-related issues, uses imaginative and innovative ideas to engage the public, and does so with limited resources. To nominate a group please tell us: 1) your contact details, with a short explanation of why you think the group deserves the award 2) the name of the group 3) name, postal/email address and phone number of the main contact for the group 4) the group's website address if it has one 5) how long, if known, the group has existed 6) main activities of the group. If you have a digital photo or two of the group in action then email them to us - we'd love to see them. Send your nomination to MAW by using the Contact Us link on our website. Please head your message 'Award.' Otherwise, please post your nomination to Lesley Docksey, 1 Court Farm Cottages, Buckland Newton, Dorset DT2 7BT. ALL NOMINATIONS TO REACH US BY SEPTEMBER 15th.
