The deadline for the submission of applications to the Housing Executive’s 2016 Rural Community Awards is 4pm Friday 29 July.
There is a prize fund of £4,000 on offer, with four prizes of £1,000 being awarded to help and support those communities working to improve their area.
The Housing Executive’s Rural Awards aim to improve community spirit within rural neighbourhoods and there are two categories: The Cleaner and Greener Award and The Community Spirit Award, which are open to all rural neighbourhoods, not just Housing Executive estates.
Within each category there are two prizes, one for villages with a population of less than 1,000 and one for populations of 1,000-5,000.
So if you have an active community group, are proud of your local neighbourhood and live in a community which comes together to improve the local environment, why not complete the form today?
Download the application form and get more details on the competition from the Housing Executive’s website and email your application form to:

or send to The Rural Unit, Housing Executive, The Housing Centre, 2 Adelaide Street, Belfast, BT2 8PB.
