Moray & Banffshire Heroes 2025 recognises these special individuals who generously donate their time and efforts with the volunteer of the year award.

NOMINATE your Moray & Banffshire Heroes by midnight, Sunday February 2, 2025.

The volunteer award will be presented to an individual who has been beyond generous in volunteering their time and talents to help others as an unpaid activity.

Often the unsung heroes in communities, volunteers work behind the scenes helping to run and organise events and activities, or support individuals and families who would really struggle without them.
