The Bristol Young Heroes Awards recognise the valuable contribution that Bristol’s young people make to the city, particularly those who have overcome adversity.

The awards aim to shine a light on the young people across Bristol who would not otherwise be recognised.

As well as honouring finalists at the ceremony itself, the awards are designed to build aspiration, generate pride, and open doors to work experience for the young nominees.

Nominations in eight categories are open to anyone aged between 11-19 living within a BS postcode.

In addition, there is a Team of Heroes category, recognising an entire team that has supported young people in Bristol.

Community of Purpose are now calling on everyone locally to think about an inspiring unsung hero who deserves to be recognised and celebrated.

Nominating is straight forward by visiting our website – communityofpurpose.com/nominate
