Show the ‘Lockdown Love’!

THAME Rewards Club – Shop OX9, and Thame Town Council have launched Lockdown Love Awards to recognise and celebrate some of the incredible work that has been going on in the town sine the outbreak of Covid-19.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Thame community has sprung into action, with Neighbours connecting and looking out for each other more than usual; informal support groups
organising to support people in need with things like prescription collection; charities and volunteer groups. Businesses, churches and many others have all rallied together to support the town and it’s residents, working together, Now local residents are invited to nominate someone for a Lockdown Love Award, in one – or all – of the following categories:

• Community Champions: an individual or group who you feel has gone above and beyond to support you or other members of the community during lockdown. 
• Local Business: a local business that has helped support you, or those you know, during lockdown.
• Charity: Each year Thame Rewards Club donates 20% from funds raised from the sale of membership cards. This year there is an award of £500 up for grabs! Is there a local charity that has risen to support the community during lockdown that you feel deserves recognision?

Nominations should include comments/stories to celebrate and thank your nominee(s) as this is all about sharing the LOVE! Let your nominees know loudly and clearly how much they are appreciated. Although there are no specific prizes, each nominee will receive a certificate with these comments included. 

Thame Town Council and Thame Rewards Club are also planning to create a visual display within the town centre using your words to showcase how our community has pulled together.

Nominations can be made through a form on Thame Rewards Club’s website 31, 2020, and awards will be distributed at the start of September.

So get involved in sharing some Lockdown Love by nominating today!

Another way you can ‘show some love’ locally is by shopping as much as you can at local businesses, and help Thame town centre remain strong and vibrant during this challenging time.
