Westhill/NASACRE Awards
New panel members needed
- Do you have the time, experience, skills and motivation to help us with the Westhill/NASACRE AWARDS to SACREs?
- Could you become a Panel Member for the Awards?
This
work (which usually has an inter faith dimension) will involve you with
schools, young people and local communities,
as well as with professional colleagues, in a most interesting and
rewarding exercise. Where appropriate, panel members may be invited to
become co-opted members of NASACRE’s Executive Committee.
The Awards, which have come to be greatly valued by SACREs, NASACRE and Westhill alike, have been an annual feature since 2005. Currently the Westhill Trustees graciously make £20,000 available each year. Panel members read submissions from SACREs (perhaps a dozen, perhaps as many as twenty each year), and meet at Westhill, Birmingham for a few hours on a day in Spring to decide the winners. Each panel member then serves as the NASACRE link person to one or more award-winning projects. The link-person’s role is to encourage and affirm the progress and achievements of the project, and to help monitor its operation for the Westhill Trustees and for NASACRE – with special attention to its reporting, publicity and evaluation. Most link-persons have visited the project on location (with reasonable expenses reimbursed). The arrival of NASACRE’s “human face” has been greatly appreciated by the project-workers.
If you would like to know more, or to express an interest in joining the Panel, please email Michael Metcalf, Panel Convenor, at prebmetcalf@hotmail.com

NASACRE coordinator of the Awards process
Before long, someone will be required to fill this vital role, at present carried out by Michael Metcalf.
The co-ordinator:
Before long, someone will be required to fill this vital role, at present carried out by Michael Metcalf.
The co-ordinator:
- is the chief negotiator and correspondent with the Westhill Trustees
- prepares the documentation each year which goes out to the SACREs inviting their bids
- collates applications for an Award, and convenes and chairs the Panel
- informs Award-winners and NASACRE’s AGM of the results
- corresponds with unsuccessful applicants when required
- coordinates the link-persons
- works with the Treasurer to supervise the payment of grants under Westhill’s terms
- reports to NASACRE’s Executive at intervals, and is a member of that Committee, co-opted as necessary.
Without this leadership, these Awards would, quite simply, be impossible to administer and sustain.
