"If there is an individual or group in your local area who gives up their time to help others or make a difference to where you live, we want to hear from you. At Helena, we know that these people can make a real difference in our neighbourhoods, and this is a great way to thank them for their efforts.
"We have had some excellent winners in the past and I'm sure that once again we will see some of the fantastic achievements going on in our estates and it will be great to recognise them."
