Whom to Nominate for an Award
To recognise outstanding achievement in the diverse community of Bolton we have created the Bolton Black and Asian Achievement Awards (BAAA).
This is an opportunity for the community, organisations or individual people to ensure that those who have made an outstanding contribution to the community, or to an individual, should get the recognition they deserve - this is your way of thanking them.
