Local infrastructure support is the beating heart of a community's voluntary sector. Our annual awards show is where we take some time out to thank them for everything they have done that year. So here are the winners and Highly Commended's for 2020:
We hosted this year's show live on YouTube so that anyone and everyone could see the fabulous work of the NAVCA members. As with everything on the internet, once it is there it doesn't go away - so you can hop over to our YouTube channel and watch the show for the first, second or even third time (thanks mum).
We have eight award categories, designed to reflect the variety of work our members do across their communities. Each category is outlined below or you can watch our video about them - if you prefer moving images and plinky-plonky music.
