LONGRIDGE Town Council is looking to recognise the efforts of people who make a difference through personal choice and often, without recognition or reward.

The authority's Community Recognition Awards are open to the whole community and give those who have volunteered, coached or helped others in the town a chance to gain recognition for their efforts in helping to make the area a better place to live and work.

The categories are: Young Volunteer Award, Volunteer Award and Community Group Award.

To nominate an individual or organisation complete a nomination form and return it to the council by Friday, April 7.

The council will present the awards at its annual general meeting on May 10.
