The search is on to find two local heroes as nominations open for the 2025 Douglas Community Awards.
Now in their fourth year, the awards will recognise a Community Champion, someone who lives in Douglas and goes out of their way to support others.
As well as a Young Hero, a local young person aged 15 or under who’s made a positive difference in the community.
Community Awards
Launching this year’s awards, newly appointed Mayor of Douglas, Councillor Steven Crellin, is calling on the public to help celebrate those whose efforts often go unnoticed.
“There are so many people doing incredible things to help others, from neighbours quietly supporting the vulnerable, to young people leading fundraising efforts or standing up for the environment,” said the Mayor.
“These awards are our way of recognising the impact they have and saying thank you.”
Nominations
Nominations are welcomed for individuals who support those in need, give up their time to volunteer, show exceptional kindness, mentor or inspire others, or work to improve the community or environment in any way.
Entries are open until July 18, after which a judging panel, chaired by the Mayor, will choose the winners.
Nomination forms are available here.
