The following email has been received from Jo Gravier, Stakeholder Engagement Manager, NHS North West Surrey Clinical Commisioning Group; and we are pleased to reproduce it here:
"We're delighted to announce the launch of the Living and Ageing Well in Surrey Awards 2014.
"The Awards provide an exciting opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the huge range of initiatives, projects, services and individuals in the community that make Surrey a great place in which to live and age well.
"More and more people in Surrey are living longer and we want to embrace this and recognise the many ways older people contribute to society and their local communities, and to build on the opportunities for improving the wellbeing of people in Surrey as they age. The Awards categories are based on the pledges from Surrey’s Commitment to Ageing Well. These have been identified by older people in Surrey as the important things that matter to them as they age.
"If you know of an individual, public service, or voluntary, community or faith sector organisation who you feel deserves an Award, don’t hesitate and nominate them today. You may even nominate yourself!
