Milton Keynes Citizen are holding another Pride in Milton Keynes ceremony to recognise the extraordinary people who commit their time and energy into making a difference in Milton Keynes.

But they need to you tell them about a special person or group of people that make these remarkable differences to the community and its people.

“Let’s celebrate the truly remarkable people who make Milton Keynes a better place.”

There are a number of categories to nominate a person or team into:

• Care in the Community – Recognising individuals and teams that have shown incredible patience and understanding, often for many years, caring for and supporting a friend or loved one. This award recognises those who have cared for others without thought for themselves or any public recognition

• Service with a Smile – Top class customer service, someone who made you want to return again and again. Good customer service makes our community a happier place and those who provide it deserve to be recognised for going the extra mile

• Young Achiever of the Year – For someone is 21 or under and has either achieved great things in sport, represented their school, is involved in volunteer work, overcame a major hardship or achieved distinction in some other field

• Excellence in Education – For anyone or any organisation involved in education, to recognise the work and effort they put into promoting and enhancing education in its widest sense

• Fundraiser of the Year – It’s for the person or team that has shown innovation and creativity for their fund raising activities, it’s not necessarily all about the amount raised

• Outstanding Example of Bravery – An award for a person or group who has overcome adversity and hardships or have bravely helped another

• Unsung Hero/Heroine – Here we want to recognise the achievements of individuals or groups which go out of their way for others or their community as a whole. From spreading good news to voluntary support, this award is for people who are may not, perhaps, have received the recognition they deserve for their years of commitment
