These community champions put your bin out every week, keep an eye on your house when you're away on holiday, look after elderly residents on your street, and do lots of other small acts of kindness that make a big difference in your life. Tell us who they are and we would love to honour them!
Awards
We all know someone who has gone out of their way to make us feel special. Here is your chance to honour the neighbour who goes the extra mile, the colleague who shines in your workplace, the brave friend who has overcome illness, the teacher who has inspired your child, and the community organisation making a difference - these ordinary men, women and children live extraordinary lives and make Leeds a brilliant place to live in. Let's honour them and celebrate everything that is amazing about our city.
Nominations for this years' seven awards closes on Sunday 15th September at 5:00pm.
Awards
Leeds' Best Investor in Children
These classroom assistants, youth leaders, teachers, lunch-time supervisors, scout troop leaders and caretakers are dedicated in raising young champions. They see potential, put no limits on children, and pour their lives into this generation. Nominate one of these worthy heroes today.
Leeds' Best Queen and/or King of Customer Care
Do you know a shop assistant or call centre advisor who goes out of their way to make your day? What about a bus driver who says good morning and always remembers your stop, or maybe a parking attendant, waiter or receptionist that always make you smile because they are happy and helpful? Then tell us who they are.
Leeds' Lifetime Achievement Award
This person truly is a hero. They have spent years pouring their lives into others and endeavouring to make Leeds a better place. They have influenced many through their achievements and their life. They may not have been recognised for their work but they have truly made a difference to others.
Leeds' Best Community Organisation of the Year
This award honours an organisation that pours itself into the local community. It might be a local charity, social enterprise or a community group. Either way, it is dedicated to improving the lives of others and helping people to get more out of life.
Leeds' Best Secret Angel
This volunteer is someone who selflessly helps others without looking for reward or recognition but certainly deserves it. Whether they are running a community group, giving time and energy helping charities raise money, shopping for the elderly, walking the dogs at the local shelter or running the local neighbourhood watch, they are dedicated to making people feel great.
