Do you know someone who gives up their time to help others, has been brave in the face of adversity, or who has done something remarkable?
The chances are you do – and now is the chance for their achievements to be recognised with the Pride in Bath awards.
For the second year running the Pride in Bath awards will give people the chance to nominate those who have made a difference in their community, or who have shown great bravery, courage and determination.
The awards, a collaboration between The Bath Chronicle and BMI Bath Clinic at Claverton Down, have eight categories: Carer, Community Champion, Heroic Act, Charity Fundraiser or Volunteer, Young Person, Environmental Hero, Public Sector Hero, and GP Practice.
From caring for a relative, to supporting a charity or litter picking, there are many people in the community who perform selfless service.
Last year the category of Charity Champion was won by veteran fundraiser George Harding, from Weston, for his work raising more than £100,000 for Macmillan.
He said afterwards: "I feel really humbled to win the award and am so delighted.
"I want to inspire people of all ages to get involved with charity work and to challenge themselves."
Shirley Kelly, from Lower Weston, won the Carer of the Year category for the time she dedicates to looking after her husband, blind great-nephew and elderly neighbours.
She said at the time that she was shocked but absolutely elated.
"When you do things like this you don't really think about what you are doing, you just do it. I just do my best to help people who need it."
To nominate a person write a minimum of 250 words on why they deserve the award and attach it to the nomination form on this page.

An awards ceremony will be held on March 7 at the Assembly Room, where the winners will receive £500, with a £1,500 prize for the best GP practice.
