Purpose

The report presents nominations
for consideration under the Council’s annual Citizen and Young Citizen of
Honour Awards 2025.

 

The Citizen of Honour
Award was introduced in November 1996.  Five years later, the scheme
was extended to recognise the efforts of younger residents under the age of 18
through the Young Citizen of Honour Award.

 

Over the last 28
years, the award has honoured 115 residents of the Borough, with nominations
being received from all areas of Fareham. 
This year, the Council has received 6 nominations overall. There are 5
nominations for the Citizen of Honour Award (18 and over) and 1 nomination for
the Young Citizen of Honour Award (under 18).
