The Creme of Nature Community Action Award 2010

Creme of Nature Community Awards

£10,000 available for community cohesion and social inclusion Creme of Nature Community Action Award

Now into its third year, the Creme of Nature £10,000 Community Action Award is focused on those with great ideas and vision in African Caribbean voluntary, faith and community groups, whose primary objective is to support and encourage women. This nationwide Award is dedicated to community cohesion and social inclusion.

The Creme of Nature Community Action Award is all about giving something back to the community that has supported one of the most well known brands in the hair and beauty market for the past 30 years. If you or your organisation has a dream, now is the chance to make it a reality. Imagine what £10,000 cash could do and what it could achieve. Applications are welcome from individuals to small groups, but priority will be given to those who have an annual turnover of less than £50,000.

In 2008 the Award was presented to Be Totally You who created a Hair Training Salon in Bromley and this year’s award was presented to the Shern Hall Methodist Youth Steel Band who had been waiting for over 4 years for a set of their own pans and who now have to wait no longer.
