The People of Dover Awards are Taking Nominations

The People of Dover Awards were launched to thank the people who make a real difference to the town of Dover or its residents.

Do you know someone that has gone the extra mile for the benefit for others? If so, send us your nominations now!

But if you want to say thank you for making Dover a better place then fill out a nomination form and let us know today!
