Rotary in Godalming member Colin Simmons invites nominations for this year’s Young Citizen Award and shares news of the chosen charity for 2025 of Godalming Woolsack
Following the success of our award in 2023 and 2024, the Rotary Clubs in Godalming are running our Young Citizen Award again in 2025.
Our late member Malcolm Keene worked tirelessly inspiring the young in Godalming. So, in his memory, the Rotary Clubs in Godalming, in conjunction with and supported by Malcolm’s wife Barbara, wish to reward and inspire a young person or group of (up to 6) young people who have made outstanding contributions to our local community and deserve recognition.
This may be as a carer, fundraiser for good causes, involvement with voluntary organisations or similar tasks that a young person has, or group of young people have, done to benefit the community that often has not been recognised.
If you know a young person, or group of young people, aged between 10-18, who is/are doing good things within the community, then please nominate them for our award.
The nomination form is available at Godalming Woolsack Rotary website or send an email to [email protected].
A cash prize together with a commemorative plague will be awarded to the young person or the group of young people that the judging panel (comprising of Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Godalming and the Rotary Club of Godalming Woolsack) consider to be the most deserving. The judging panel’s decision will be final.
All nominees, including each member of a group, will receive a certificate recognising their nomination.
The closing date for nominations is Friday, 11th April with an award evening planned for Friday, 9th May at the Burton Pavilion, Milford.

The Rotary Club of Godalming Woolsack President, Graham Sopp, has chosen the Godalming & Villages Community Store as his Charity of the Year. A very generous donation was made on behalf of the Woolsack Club of £1,000 to the Chair of the Community Store Estelle Spencer to ensure their clients had access to fresh fruit and vegetables over the Christmas period.
This donation funded vouchers which Community Store clients could exchange for fresh fruit and vegetables at DMF Fruits, owned by Danny Taylor, when they operate at the Pepperpot in Godalming.
