AN AWARDS ceremony which celebrates the stars of the Mid-Essex community will be taking place for the second time this year.

The Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has launched the Marvels of Mid Awards (MOMA’s) for the second year running to celebrate community stars who help people to Live Well.

At its Annual General Meeting on September 28, the CCG will thank people and organisations in the districts of Braintree, Maldon and the city of Chelmsford who have made a positive impact on the wellbeing of local people.

Mid Essex CCG Accountable Officer Caroline Rassell said: “We ran the awards for the first time last year and were overwhelmed at the amazing people and projects that go above and beyond to support and help people in their communities to stay well – both physically and mentally.

“We want to say thanks again this year to the great work that is being done to support our NHS and community health services.

“Nominations could be for a member of staff at your local GP practice that always helps you or it could be someone who helps look in on neighbours or volunteers at a local group.

“It’s only by people voting for their community heroes that we can give recognition – so please get involved and make the MOMA’s great again this year.”
