Do you know a selfless soul making a positive difference to your area?
Nominations are open for the Tower Hamlets Star in the Community Awards, which recognise the unsung volunteers lighting up the borough.
The awards, to be handed out at a special ceremony in January, are up for grabs to those from neighbourhoods managed by 10 housing providers: Clarion, EastendHomes, Gateway HA, One Housing, Poplar HARCA, Providence Row Housing Association, Spitalfields HA, Swan HA, Tower Hamlets Community Housing and Tower Hamlets Homes.
They could be a tireless volunteer, an active member of a community group or someone who lends a helping hand to their neighbours.
Residents and residents’ groups can nominate and be nominated.
There are five categories, including a prize for young people aged under 25.
Full details and application forms are available at participating housing associations and online via this link. Deadline for submissions October 19.
