Awards with the feel-good factor

Heroes in the Community nominations open

Nominations open today for the awards which salute those who do something special in the Manx community.

If you have a friend, colleague or relative who's gone the extra mile for others, you're invited to put them forward in one of ten categories at this year's Heroes in the Community Awards.

Nominations close in early October and a gala presentation night will be held at the Empress Hotel in November.
