Residents can now nominate their local heroes in South Norfolk Council’s Community Awards.

The Awards, now in their tenth year, celebrate all the dedicated hard-working volunteers that give up their time to help make South Norfolk a fantastic place to live, work and visit.

South Norfolk Council’s Cabinet Member for Better Lives, Councillor Alison Thomas, said:

“We have some amazing people in South Norfolk who really go above and beyond for their community, and in doing so, inspire others to get involved. If you know someone who goes the extra mile to make a difference, then nominate them and let them know how much you appreciate their hard work.”.

The eight award categories are: Inspiration of the Year, Young Person of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Helping Hand Award, Green at Heart Award, Business in the Community Award, Community Group of the Year and Community Hero.

Nominations close on 6th June. All shortlisted nominees will be invited to a special awards night held on 14th July at Barnham Broom Hotel. Winners will receive grants of £250 to give to their chosen charitable organisation. You can make your nomination by visiting www.southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk/communities/community-awards-2022
