THERE'S only a short time left for people from the Skipton area to nominate folk - and pets - they believe represent ‘The Best Of British’.

Global-hearing specialist Amplifon wants to find truly remarkable men, women, children and pets who are an example to the nation.

The Amplifon Awards For Brave Britons 2022 will celebrate special achievements in the following categories: Act Of Courage, Active Agers, Against All Odds, Celebrity Hero, Charity Champion, Young Hero and Pet Hero.

Falklands War hero Simon Weston CBE, who chairs the judging panel, said: “The Amplifon Awards for Brave Britons shine a light on a very British breed of hero: those who, through incredible acts of courage, bravery and selflessness, are an inspiration to others.

“We all know of someone who deserves recognition for their bravery to help others, or their outstanding service to their country or community. It doesn’t matter whether people know them personally or have read about them in the media we still want them to nominate their heroes for this year’s awards.”

The closing date for entries is Friday, June 10, and nominations can be made at https://www.amplifon.com/uk/about-us/brave-briton-awards

The winners will be announced at a ceremony on Tuesday, October 11.
