Working in the third sector, you meet so many inspiring people who are going above and beyond to help others and our environment. Their dedication and passion is what keeps our communities alive, but sometimes it can go unrecognized.

That is why we love our annual Third Sector Awards ceremony - a special evening focused on giving them a moment to shine and celebrating their achievements.

If you are reading this and thinking of a volunteer or group, why not nominate them for an award? Nominations are open until the end of August: https://forms.office.com/e/70gwmHVGv5
