The Papadopoulos Award for Outstanding Caring Acts by Young People

the co-founder of the Greek and Greek Cypriot Community of Enfield, and its Chairperson between the years of 1994 - 2001.
Aim

What are 'caring acts?'

- regularly visiting an old housebound person
- caring for a sick relative
- supporting a friend in need
- helping a person to learn a new skill or overcome learning difficulties
- participating in the work of community groups or organisations, raising funds for charities and so on.
It is up to you to tell us why the person you are nominating has committed a 'caring act'.
How can one nominate?

can be nominated.

by either completing a simple form which can be obtained from the GGCCE by telephone or sending us a letter,
stating who they wish to nominate and why.
- The recipient of the 'caring act' does not have to be Greek/Greek Cypriot.
- Any young person living in the UK is eligible.
