People and communities
BBC Radio WM needs you!
Published on
For a second year BBC local radio wants to celebrate and say thank you to people who make where we live a better place.
Nominations for their Make a Difference Awards are now open and close on Sunday 5 March and BBC Radio WM is keen to receive as many local nominations as possible.
We all hear stories of people doing incredible things for each other and their communities and now there’s an opportunity to see their hard and selfless work recognised and congratulated.
It might be caring for someone in need, being a brilliant neighbour, picking up litter, helping families in crisis or inspiring children in the classroom — if you know someone who is really making a difference where you live, then you can nominate them for an award.
“ My cabinet title says it all really. Walsall people are resilient, look after each other and together we’re stronger. There has long been a proud tradition of volunteering and community work across the borough and the darkest days of the pandemic have strengthened that still further. I’d love to see some of our residents and communities receive the recognition they deserve, so please get nominating! The nomination form is quick and easy to complete — it’s really just about talking from your heart about how people have gone over and above and how it’s made a difference to other people’s lives.
“
To make a nomination, please visit the BBC's website
The winners will be announced at the regional Make a Difference awards ceremony in September.
