Local BBC Radio across England wants to award great neighbours, key workers, volunteers and more in Make A Difference Awards
Community heroes who make a difference where they live will be recognised in a new award scheme being run by every local BBC radio station in England. But they need your help to identify people who should be honoured.
It’s part of the BBC’s ‘Make A Difference’ awards to recognise remarkable people; marking their achievements and contributions to lives in their communities.
Categories cover the unsung heroes of every community from great neighbours, inspirational teachers, awesome volunteers or even outstanding key workers.
There are eight award categories (listed below), nominations are now open and will close on the 29th of April 2022 at 11:00pm.
The winners will be announced at our Make a Difference awards hosted by BBC Radio Sussex & BBC Radio Surrey at a ceremony in September.
