GOOD NEIGHBOUR
We are celebrating those unsung heroes who have put themselves out to improve the lives of those around them. Do you know someone who helps their neighbours by running errands, or someone who keeps an eye on people living alone or has helped out in a crisis?
HEALTHCARE HEROES
There are hundreds of health workers in our region, both paid and voluntary, who make such a difference to so many people. It could be a nurse, a doctor or a voluntary worker who dedicates their life to a health organisation.
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Thousands of dedicated volunteers devote countless hours to helping people in our community and raising money for charity. This category will recognise the people who carry out a multitude of good work, without asking for anything in return.
BRAVERY AND COURAGE
For battling against the odds to help others, or putting themselves at risk to save someone in danger.
COMMUNITY ACTION
