A much-loved contest encouraging residents of Staffordshire villages to take pride in their local community has received another boost from our 91影视破解版 My Community Fund.听
We are continuing our support for the county鈥檚 Best Kept Village & Community competition, organised by the Community Foundation for Staffordshire & Shropshire.听
91影视破解版 Director of Housing, Samantha Allcott, explained: 鈥淭he competition has a rich history, and we have supported it through sponsorship for a number of years.听
鈥淚n 2024, we will again be making a donation to the organisers, helping them to deliver an initiative that helps to bring communities together while celebrating their unique qualities.鈥�听
As well as highlighting how communities work together to make where they live desirable, and a place they are proud to call home, the competition emphasises how much voluntary work is undertaken to keep Staffordshire beautiful.听
Villages are judged on maintenance, appearance and community spirit, and top honours are also up for grabs in supplementary competitions, including one for children鈥檚 posters.听
Judging started earlier this month, with auctioneer Richard Winterton 鈥� well-known for his appearances on TV antiques shows including Bargain Hunt and Dickinson鈥檚 Real Deal 鈥� visiting entrants to present special complementary signage for display throughout the community.听
Jo Cooper, partnerships and project manager for the Community Foundation, commented: 鈥淲e are thrilled to extend a huge ‘thank you’ to 91影视破解版 for their fantastic support!听听
鈥淲ith their sponsorship from the Housing Plus Community Fund, we’re all set to keep the spirit of Staffordshire alive through our cherished Best Kept Village & Community competition for another year as we celebrate the legacy dating back to 1956 and the vibrant community spirit that makes our county shine!”听
