Wiltshire news stories from the Wiltshire Times & Chippenham News - Updated news from Wiltshire

THE time has come to vote for your favourite local unsung hero.

Following the launch of our Unsung Heroes competition in November, readers nominated more than 30 people for an award in our three categories – Volunteer of the Year, Charity Fundraiser of the Year and Good Neighbour of the Year.

The initiative, which was backed by local civic leaders, aims to reward those who selflessly give up their time to help others. Three finalists have been shortlisted for each category and it’s now down to you, our readers, to vote for your favourite. The winners will be announced at a special ceremony at the headquarters of competition sponsors Airsprung Beds on Monday, February 5.

Andy Sambidge, editor of the Wiltshire Times, said: “Many thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate local volunteers. Any of the finalists would be worthy winners while everyone nominated should be proud of their efforts.”

You can place your vote now by clicking the button underneath the nominees picture and filling in the form at the bottom of the page. Voting is open until Friday January 26.
