For a fourth year, BBC Radio Cornwall is celebrating and saying thank you to those in our towns and cities who make where we live a better place.

Every day we hear stories of people doing incredible things for each other and their communities. Now it’s time to recognise them for all their hard work.

Whether it’s caring for someone in need, being a brilliant neighbour, or inspiring children in the classroom, if you know someone who is really making a difference to your life or where you live, then you can nominate them for a BBC Radio Cornwall Make a Difference Award.

There are 8 categories;

• The Volunteer Award
• The Young Hero (New to 2025)
• The Great Neighbour Award
• The Active Award  (New to 2025)
• The Animal Award
• The Green Award
• The Fundraiser Award
• The Community Group Award

You can nominate at bbc.co.uk/makeadifference, where you can also see full Terms and our Privacy Notice. Nominations are now open and will close on the Monday 31 March 2025 at 5:00pm. The winners will be announced at our Make a Difference awards ceremony in September.
