Hull Trains plans to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee year by rewarding a community hero with a platinum experience.

Members of the public are being asked to nominate individuals in Hull or East Yorkshire who they believe deserve recognition for the role they play in making a difference to their local community.

Nominations are now being accepted for the ‘Hull Trains Platinum Jubilee Award’. The winner will receive a fantastic prize of first-class return travel tickets to London Kings Cross and overnight accommodation in London.

To nominate a recipient of the Platinum Jubilee Awards, members of the public should complete an entry form outlining who the individual is, what role they play in the community and why they should win. The entry form is available online at https://survey.usabilla.com/live/s/6262b8649e5ebb3292562bbc

Nominations will close on Friday, May 27th, after which the leadership team at Hull Trains will consider the shortlisted entries. The winner will be notified on Wednesday, June 1st.

Winners will be given the choice to travel on a Hull Trains service to London at any time during the period Thursday, June 2nd to Sunday, July 31st. Full terms and conditions are listed at http://www.hulltrains.co.uk/jubilee

David Gibson, Managing Director Hull Trains, explained: “There are activities taking place up and down the country to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s 70 years of service but we really wanted to do something that would shine a light on our own community and, in particular, an individual who goes above and beyond to make a difference all-year round.

“There are so many volunteers, fundraisers, health workers, carers and other individuals who do so much to help and inspire others, often with very little recognition. This is a fantastic way for us all to say, ‘thank you,’ and to give someone a well-deserved short break in London where they can unwind and enjoy some first-class hospitality.”
