Our work is all about homes, but without you - our amazing customers – they’re just bricks and mortar.
We know there are incredible folks doing wonderful things in the communities we’re proud to serve, and we want to celebrate them.

We can’t wait to hear more about the amazing people and projects making a difference across our communities.
This award is for anyone who is a shining example to others. Perhaps they’ve achieved something against the odds, triumphed over some very tricky circumstances at a young age or who simply gives their all to whatever they turn their hand to.
This is for those everyday heroes whose small actions make a world of difference. Think help putting the bins out each week; a home-cooked meal delivered to the doorstep, or watering the plants when you’re away on holiday. It might be something as simple as a friendly face to have a chat with over a cuppa. Someone who is committed to the small acts of kindness which brighten peoples’ days and help make life that little bit easier.
This award recognises people who go the extra mile to make a difference in their community. They might volunteer each week with a local group or fundraise tirelessly for a good cause. Whatever their contribution, they’re taking the time and the trouble to make an impact which benefits their neighbourhood and playing an active role in their local community for the good of the people who live there.
This award celebrates the wonderful work of charities, community groups and third sector organisations across our neighbourhoods of Greater Manchester. Perhaps they’ve been there to support people through the cost-of-living crisis or maybe they’re providing opportunities for social get-togethers to combat loneliness. From skills building to mental health support and everything in between, we want to recognise the vital role these groups play in our communities.
This award is for a green-fingered person or project doing great things to enhance their local environment. Maybe their hanging baskets brighten the street every spring; perhaps they’ve transformed a community garden or kick-started a successful allotment project. From litter-picking to recycling projects, we want to celebrate the eco champions doing great things to benefit our neighbourhoods now and in the future.
