The Beacon Prize 2007 - Closing Date 1st May 2007
The Beacon Fellowship Charitable Trust has put out the call for
nominations for the 2007 Beacon Prize. Together with the Government's
Cabinet Office, UBS Wealth Management and The Vodafone UK Foundation,
the Charity is urging the public to nominate individuals who have made
a significant charitable contribution in giving time, money and/or
skills to a specific cause.

With awards in 6 categories of Leadership, Community Builder, Creative
Giving, New Initiatives, Family Philanthropy and Young Philanthropist
and additional regional prizes for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland
and Wales, the winners will be invited to attend a gala dinner in
London where the overall prize winner will receive £30,000 to donate
to the charity of their choice.

Beacon has had a remarkable response to last year's Prize nomination
scheme, revealing stories of extraordinary individuals who have worked
to make a difference, be it locally or on a global scale. Each in turn
represents the Beacon belief in the strength of individual
philanthropy and we are confident this year's nominations will
highlight the work of many more yet unnamed heroes who have given so
much in the name of charity.

Nominations close on 1st May 2007.

Do you know someone who deserves a Beacon Prize?
* Perhaps a young person who their time and talent to help others?
* Or a person with energy and originality, transformed things in their
community?
* Or someone who has used their skills to help transform a charity?
* Perhaps someone who has inspired his or her family, to give?
* Has someone you know created an idea that has changed people's
lives?

Whatever your story, Beacon wants to hear about it!
