Time nearly up to nominate heroes for Stars of Suffolk Award

The Stars of Suffolk Awards were launched to as a chance to thank all those people around the county who are working tirelessly to help others, and whose efforts all too often go unrecognised.

To nominate your hero, go to www.starsofsuffolk.co.uk and fill in the short form. Entries close on Sunday, February 11.

In total, there are eight Stars of Suffolk Awards up for grabs, each designed to pay tribute to  unsung heroes doing good in our county.

Over the past few weeks, we have told you about six categories for which you can nominate someone you think deserves a pat on the back.

This week, we are telling you all about the remaining two.

What are the Stars of Suffolk Award categories?

Unsung Community Hero of the Year

Who is the person in your community who does so much for others, but never expects anything in return? It is these people who are the lifeline to many communities, and without their efforts, many charities, organisations and community groups would simply cease to exist. Now, it’s your chance to say a big thank you, on behalf of all of us.

Young Person of the Year (Sponsored by Hawk Express Cabs)

There are so many examples of young people across our county doing incredible things for others. From charity fundraisers to volunteering and taking part in difficult challenges, this is the chance to say well done. This category is open to anyone who was under the age of 18 as of February 1, 2024.
