Nominations open for 2017 Pride of Britain Awards

Nominations are now open for the 2017 ITV Fundraiser of the Year – part of the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards.

We’re looking for people with an inspirational story to tell – individuals who’ve really made a difference to others through their creative or tireless fundraising efforts.

Carol Vorderman, who lives in the West Country hosts the awards.

Last year's winner was Ben Smith. A victim of bullying at school, Ben ran 401 marathons in 401 days around the UK to raise more than £250,000 for anti-bullying charities Stonewall and Kidscape.

Your nominee will first be considered in the ITV Regional News round of selection. Each regional winner gets to attend the star-studded Pride of Britain Awards in London, where one of the regional winners will be crowned UK Fundraiser 2017.

Your nominee must be 16 years old or over as of 22 June 2017. Nominations close at 23:59 on Friday 25 August 2017.
