Re-Betchworth Wins Surrey Wildlife Trust Community Champion Award.   

It’s always nice to receive recognition and our work for nature with the Betchworth Community was acknowledged by Surrey Wildlife Trust through their new Community Champion Awards.
 
The Oscar styled award’s ceremony, held on 3 August 2023 at West Horsley Place, was attended by over 80 community activists and SWT staff. Its purpose was to showcase nature-based community projects and enable people to connect with other community groups who are trying to help nature in Surrey.
 
Re-B was nominated for the Emergent Talent Award, one of three categories attracting 22 entries. Teams had to show how they connected to one or more of SWT’s aims:

• Connecting and protecting land for nature's recovery
• Encouraging others to take action for nature
• Using sustainable practices

Re-B was one of four community projects shortlisted for the Emerging Talent Award and James Benn, Milla Peterken and Norman Jackson represented the Re-B team at the ceremony.
