Pride of Scotland Awards

NOMINATIONS are being sought from Dumfries and Galloway of people who make an extraordinary difference to the lives of others for this year's Pride of Scotland Awards.

Organisers are looking for remarkable individuals from across Scotland in categories such as:

• Outstanding Bravery.
• Young Fundraiser.
• Child or Teenager of Courage.
• Lifetime Achievement.
• Emergency Services – recognising those who have gone beyond the call of duty.
• Special Recognition – for achievements not covered elsewhere, including inspiring carers, campaigners and members of the armed forces.

The Pride of Scotland Awards highlight people of all ages and backgrounds who have shown courage, compassion and commitment. Winners are chosen from thousands of public nominations by an independent judging panel and their achievements are celebrated at a national awards ceremony.
