Nominations are open for a Batonbearer for the Queen’s Baton Relay at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Applications can be made online with local individuals sought who have provided a difference in their community, or anyone who has a “unique and inspiring” story to tell.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will take place in the lead up to opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, with the Batonbearer arriving at Alexandra Stadium on 28 July 2022.
Nominations are open until 14 February.
Councillor Garry Perry, Deputy Leader for Resilient Communities said:
“We have an abundance of people across Walsall who fit the criteria and this has been demonstrated more than ever during the ongoing pandemic.
“To nominate, all you need to do is explain how your nominee is making a difference in their community and why they deserve to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“Please do get your nominations in before the closing date of 14 February and help to get Walsall on the map.”
