In October 2008 Lark in the Park was nominated by Chief Inspector Steve Murrant to receive the Civic Recognition Award. There were three different schemes.
- Civic Recognition of Young people
- Civic Recognition of Voluntary Service by Adults
- Civic Recognition of Outstanding Achievement
Lark in the Park was nominated for the Civic Recognition of Outstanding Achievement. The object of the award is to recognise outstanding achievement during the current year with a achievement that has brought credit to the Borough of Bexley.
The Civic Awards are the most prestigious awards given buy the Council and it is amazing that Lark in the Park has made such a difference to the community within the Borough of Bexley. All the previous Mayor's of the London Borough of Bexley got together to vote between everyone who has been nominated and they decided that Lark in the Park had earned this award.
So a huge thank you to EVERYONE who helped at Lark in the Park. You made Lark in the Park become what it is today, a gift to the community.
Phil Leighton, Mel Newsum, Peter Austin, Charlie Weston, John Arundel, Tabitha Smith, Sheila McGee, Paul Weston and Doreen Schiller had the priviledge to be part of receiving the award on the 25th February at the Civic Offices in Bexleyheath.
