While there is still lots of great work going on, FVA is seeking nominations for individuals, private businesses, public sector workers and third sector organisations who made a real difference in Fife during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, particularly during lockdown.

Anybody can nominate an individual, organisation or business that really helped out in Fife during the coronavirus pandemic during 2020. You can nominate anybody, including relatives, neighbours, colleagues etc.

The charity will strive to provide every nominee with a certificate, and a panel will identify the most exceptional contributions under each category - worthy of specific praise and recognition.

The Lord-Lieutenant of Fife, Mr Robert Balfour and the Provost of Fife, Cllr Jim Leishman MBE, are both supporting the awards and are keen to be personally involved in thanking the people of Fife for their valiant efforts throughout the ongoing pandemic.

To make a nomination, please visit: www.fva.org/awards, or alternatively call: 0800 389 6046
