Howe Plate & Young People’s Awards

Howe Plate Award 

Each year the Town Council gives an award to the person or persons whom it feels has provided a local public service that has benefitted local people.  This could be something that they have done over a number of years, or something that has made a big difference in a short space of time. 

The criteria states that the time given is voluntary and the people benefiting are within the parish of Great Torrington. 

Young People’s Award 

The Town Council is keen to recognise the contribution young people in Great Torrington make towards our community.  A new Great Torrington Town Council Young People’s Award has therefore been established, and we are looking forward to receiving your nominations for this award. 

This award is looking to recognise an inspirational young person or group of young people up to age 25 who have volunteered their time for the benefit of others and have made an outstanding contribution to make our community and our world a better place.
