'Multum Awards' will recognise unsung heroes in Rutland
The awards embody the county’s motto ‘Multum in Parvo’, meaning ‘much in little’.
Rutland County Council is launching a brand-new awards scheme to recognise local people who make an invaluable contribution to their communities but often go unnoticed.
The ‘Multum Awards’ will take place in December 2022 and aim to celebrate people in Rutland who embody the county’s motto ‘Multum in Parvo’, ‘much in little’.
Councillor Lucy Stephenson, Leader of Rutland County Council, said:
“Rutland is a special place and a huge part of this is down to the tireless work of volunteers doing incredible things, purely out of love, passion and community spirit."
"We want to launch the Multum Awards to recognise the unsung heroes who make a big contribution to life in our small county – the people who go above and beyond and often don’t get the recognition they so richly deserve.”
The Multum Awards follow on from the County’s recent Future Rutland Conversation and will have a total of eight categories based around the four themes of the final Future Rutland Vision, published in March of this year.
Councillor Stephenson added:
“Achieving the goals in the Future Rutland Vision will need a big collective response from across the county. There are already a huge number of people who help to make Rutland a special place, preserve our unique heritage, help others to stay healthy and well and bring communities together."
"These are the individuals we want to celebrate and I’m confident that the Multum Awards will highlight the incredible work and acts of kindness that go unnoticed in our county every day.”
To make the awards a success, Rutland County Council is now asking people to get involved and nominate their unsung heroes of Rutland who go above and beyond for others. Nominations are open from Tuesday 20 September and will close at 5pm on Sunday 6 November 2022.
