These awards have been introduced to highlight and celebrate the positive and compassionate work that individuals, community groups and organisations have done by going above and beyond - particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, to help and support their local communities.
You have until midnight on Wednesday 5 October to nominate individuals, groups or organisations who always put others first and deserve to be recognised for their efforts.
Nominations can be either a few words (no more than 250) to describe their work, a short video (maximum of 3minutes) telling us about them, or a recorded message and some photographs to reflect how they have supported their community. They must either live or work, or have a connection to the borough of Maidstone. .
