Could you be a community champion?

The search is on to find two Douglas residents who go above and beyond in support of their community.

It comes as Douglas Borough Council has launched its 2023 Community Awards.

Spearheaded by the newly elected Mayor, Councillor Natalie Byron-Teare, nominations are now open.

The Community Champion award will recognise someone who's made a significant difference through volunteering or fundraising.

Meanwhile, the Young Hero award will acknowledge a young person aged 15 or under who also makes a significant contribution to improve the lives of others.

If you know someone who has made an outstanding positive contribution and/or is an unsung hero, the local authority wants to hear from you.

You can find out more or nominate someone at Douglas.gov.im

The closing date is Monday, 31st July.
