The BBC is celebrating people and groups who go above and beyond to make a difference where they live.

The Make a Difference Awards are a chance to say “Thank You” and show recognition and appreciation for people who love to make life better for others.

Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and awards will be given in each category, across each local BBC’s Make a Difference Awards page for more information and to nominate someone you believe. Nominations close Sunday 5 March 2023 at 11:00pm.

For more information and to make a nomination visit the BBC’s Make a Difference web page.
