THE deadline for nominations for the Shipley Area Community Heroes Awards has been extended.

The awards, to be unveiled in March, highlight the work of Shipley’s unsung heroes for their voluntary work within the community.

The award scheme is open to all residents/groups within the Shipley Constituency.

All nominees who meet the criteria will get a certificate.

The four categories are: established small group of volunteers (has been operating for over three years) of any age up to a maximum of six named group members, small group of volunteers (operating for less than three years) of any age up to a maximum of six named group members, individual adult, aged 22 or over, and individual young person, aged 21 or under.

The four winners will be awarded £200 to donate to a constituted voluntary or charitable organisation of their choice within Shipley.

The closing date for nominations is now January 23.
