Communities across Aberdeenshire are being asked to nominate their heroes for the 2022 Inspiring Aberdeenshire awards.

The council-run awards have been taking place for 10 years and seek to celebrate unsung community heroes across Aberdeenshire.

The winners are often people who get little other recognition for their tremendous efforts.

The nominations opened today (22 February until 1 April) and there are eight categories against which anyone can make a nomination. The full list of categories is here along with a short description of each: https://engage.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/inspiring-aberdeenshire-2022
