We all know someone who makes Hammersmith & Fulham a great place to live.
Whether they’re the most compassionate person you know, or went above and beyond during the pandemic, now’s the chance to give those who went the extra mile the recognition they deserve.
Nominate them for a H&F Civic Honour for their contributions to civic life and help up draw up a list of unsung heroes for our 2022 honours list.
“The compassion, strength, and support found within in Hammersmith & Fulham’s community is incredible” said Cllr Sue Fennimore, Deputy Leader of H&F Council.
“In what has been an exceptionally challenging year, members of our community have stepped up and made a real difference. This is our chance to thank and celebrate those heroes – please get in touch and tell us who went above and beyond this year.”
Nominate a local legend
Nominations for the 2022 Civic Honours closed on Sunday 23 January.
There are nine different categories, so choose the one that you think best suits your nominee.
