Heroes in the Community 2017

Awards ceremony takes place tonight

The Isle of Man's version of the Oscars for those people who serve the community or make a difference to others take place tonight (Saturday).

The 2017 Heroes in the Community Awards - the popular annual salute to the Manx community's finest, and the big fund-raiser for the Dreamcatcher charity - takes place at the Empress Hotel in Douglas.

A gala ceremony will see awards made in 10 different categories, from child of courage to teacher of the year and special awards for those who shine in sports and the arts.

Manx Radio's Dreamcatcher Appeal is a unique charity which gives gifts rather than donations to individuals or other organisations in need.
