(22 February 2010)
The Gloucestershire Medal for Courage is awarded each year to local people who have shown exceptional courage during the previous year. Whether they have performed a single act of bravery or shown moral courage over a long period by coping with their own illness or disability, they can be eligible for the award.
Any organisation or individual can nominate a deserving Gloucestershire resident for the medal. Usually two medals are awarded each year: one for an act of gallantry or self sacrifice for the good of others, the other for moral courage and bravery in the face of personal disability or illness.
The closing date for nominations is 21st May 2010. Sir Henry Elwes KCVO, The Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, will present the medals for 2009 at the full meeting of the County Council on 8th September 2010.
