March 2026

For a fifth year BBC Radio Sheffield wants to celebrate and say thank you to people and animals living in our towns and cities who make where we live a better place.

Every day we hear stories of people doing incredible things for each other and their communities. Now it’s time to recognise them for all their hard work.  

Whether it’s caring for someone in need, being a brilliant neighbour, or inspiring children in the classroom, if you know someone who is really making a difference to your life or where you live, then you can nominate them for an Award.

There are 8 categories:

•            The Volunteer Award

•            The Young Hero

•            The Great Neighbour Award

•            The Active Award  

•            The Animal Award

•            The Environmental award

•            The Fundraiser Award

•            The Community Group Award

You can nominate at bbc.co.uk/makeadifference, where you can also see full Terms and our Privacy Notice.

Nominations are now open and will close on 31 March 2025 at 5:00pm. The winners will be announced at our Make a Difference awards ceremony in September.
