A nurse, a medic, a member of the emergency services or a carer – someone who has either dedicated their life to helping others, be it in a professional or voluntary capacity, or has gone beyond the call of duty.

The winner could be a carer who has missed out on everyday life in order to look after a loved one, or they may work in the healthcare industry, dedicating their lives to caring for others. They could be a member of one of our emergency services who has been behind a major safety campaign or had an important role to play in a major incident.

These people are our guardian angels and their work, often in tough conditions and under immense pressure, deserves recognition.
