Hide AdDo you know a courageous child who has battled against the odds? How about a community hero who helps others without asking for praise in return.
You might know a carer who provides outstanding support for others - or a fundraiser who raises thousands of pounds to make a difference in the community.
All of those and more will qualify for categories in this year’s Best of Hartlepool Awards which are officially launched today.
Now it’s your turn to play a part. This is your chance to give those very special unsung heroes the praise they so richly deserve.
