Apologies - to people outside London for the Londoncentric message but...... The Museum of London is pleased to announce that nominations are now open for the London Volunteers in Museums Awards 2012. Most of London's 250 museums could not open to the public without the support of volunteers, yet there is little recognition of the massive contribution they make. Volunteers play a major role in caring for and interpreting London's heritage and culture, and ensuring that this heritage is accessible to Londoners and tourists alike. These Awards recognise the immense input volunteers make to London's museums, large and small. The Museum of London Volunteer Development Project aims to support the development of volunteering in London Museums. We see these Awards as an ideal chance to highlight how important volunteers are to museums, showcase the range of roles volunteers undertake, and show the diversity of different people who offer their time as volunteers. In the last three years the event has been a huge success, attended by Volunteers and Volunteer Managers from across London. We hope that this year will be equally exciting. There are a range of different categories for both individuals and teams, as well as a special award to recognise the achievements of staff managing volunteers. I am afraid there is a very tight deadline and we need nominations in by May 3rd, but the form is very simple, and hopefully relatively quick to complete. We've been running the event for three years now, and its always a wonderful and inspirational night, and all the volunteers involved seem to get a lot out of it. The nomination form and further guidance are attached, but do get in touch if you have any questions Just in case you need any inspiration here are some links to booklets from past awards: http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/A112A37C-1100-4C1F-9F4B-8D 89AC9F36C0/0/LondonVolunteersinMuseumsAwards2010.pdf <blocked::http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/A112A37C-1100-4C 1F-9F4B-8D89AC9F36C0/0/LondonVolunteersinMuseumsAwards2010.pdf> http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/057ADE62-CBF1-4751-B0B1-E7 205C9E5F3F/0/LondonVolunteersinMuseumsAwards2009.pdf The Awards will take place during Volunteers Week on Thursday June 7th at the Museum of London, hopefully we will see some of you, and your amazing volunteers there! best wishes Kate Kate Bowgett Volunteer Management Advisor Museum of London London Wall 150 London Wall London EC2Y 5HN Tel: 020 7814 5681 Email: [log in to unmask] www.museumoflondon.org.uk Investors in People Award 2010 Book tickets for Dickens and London Open until 10 June 2012 www.museumoflondon.org.uk/dickens Follow us online via Facebook, Twitter and Scribd www.museumoflondon.org.uk/online Before printing, please think about the environment + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + GEM list: Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=GEM + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
