The panel will sit each month to decide the winning group for the following month and will notify all the applicants of whether they are the winner. If you’re unsuccessful, there is nothing to stop you applying again but each month’s winner will have their work highlighted via CAHG’s various communication channels.

At our annual conference one of the last 12 months winners will be awarded an additional title of Community Group of the Year and will be presented with an award at the conference.

We hope you’re inspired to get involved and we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
