Social media surgeries win PM's Big Society Award
The Prime Minister has recognised social media surgeries with a Big Society Award for 2012.
The Big Society Awards were set up by the Prime Minister in November 2010 to acknowledge individuals and organisations across the UK that demonstrate the big society in their work or activities. The aim is also to galvanise others to follow. David Cameron said this about the surgeries:
“This is an excellent initiative – such a simple idea and yet so effective. The popularity of these surgeries and the fact that they have inspired so many others across the country to follow in their footsteps, is testament to its brilliance."

Nottingham CVS holds regular social media surgeries. The next one is on Thursday 15 March.
