COMMUNITIES across Trafford are being urged to honour ‘ordinary’ people doing extraordinary things by nominating them for a new national award.

The British Citizen Awards (BCA) recognises exceptional individuals who work tirelessly and selflessly to make a positive impact upon society.

Successfully launched in January this year, the inaugural BCA ceremony saw 28 people honoured at a prestigious ceremony hosted by Baroness Cox at the Palace of Westminster.

Nominations are currently being accepted for the next round of medal presentations, which will take place on July 9.

All BCA recipients receive a Medal of Honour, inscribed with the words ‘For the Good of the Country’.

To nominate, email nominations@britishcitizenawards.co.uk to request a nomination form, or visit www.britishcitizenawards.co.uk to find out more. Nominations close on April 30.
