At Pirate FM we know that there are people all over our area who go the extra mile to help others in our community. We also know that some are doing quite extraordinary things without even realising it!
And we, once again want to recognise and thank them in public. With the support of our sponsors and community partners we will find these people and, at a Glitzy Awards Dinner,at the Atlantic Hotel in Newquay, we’ll honour them for being Local Heroes at the heart of our community.
So if you know of someone who you think deserves recognition for their hard work in the community, nominate them now. Check out the list of categories below, and send us your nomination, using the form at the bottom of the page, and they could be receiving one of our prestigious awards.
Closing date 8th March 2012, at Midnight.
