Anyone can be nominated – a GP, a friend, a colleague, a manager, a neighbour – as long as they live, work or provide support in one of the following areas:

• the Black Country
• Birmingham and Solihull
• Coventry, Warwickshire County Council, North Warwickshire, Rugby, Nuneaton and Bedworth, Stratford upon Avon, Redditch
• Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, Herefordshire, Cannock Chase and Tamworth

There are five categories, and you can nominate in all five if you wish. These categories are:

• Young person (aged 16 to 25)
• Individual (over 25)
• Team, service or organisation
• The Cariss Evans Award for Innovation (in work with young people)
• Collaboration

Nominations close on Sunday 23 January, so head to the website now for more information, and to give a well-deserved shout out to those people who have gone the extra mile to support others.
