THE Glasgow Community Champion Awards are back for another year, looking for the people who make a difference in our great city.

As in previous years we are certain there will be plenty of people, young, old, groups, volunteers and employees who go above and beyond the call of duty to make life better and safer for those around them.

With our partners in the awards Glasgow City Council, Glasgow Community Planning Partnership, Strathclyde Fire and Rescue, Strathclyde Police and Glasgow Housing Association, we are looking for your nominations, to honour and celebrate our true local heroes.

New awards have been added to include more people who deserve recognition for their selfless efforts whether it is in sport, health, community work or safety.

Local finals will take place throughout the year with the Grand Final at the City Chambers at the end of the year for those who have shone through to compete for the overall titles.

The Awards are for local people to nominate local people so we need to hear from you who should be considered and why.

Get your nominations in using the details on page 7, because they deserve all our thanks for their tirelsss efforts.
