“Staffordshire University is delighted to be supporting Your Heroes – a celebration of some of the outstanding people living, working and studying in our community.
“Heroes come in many different guises which is why there are categories dedicated to charity champions and volunteers, NHS heroes, community groups, carers and education.
“As a Civic University which is committed to improving quality of life for people living locally, we hope to engage with the winners and see how we can help them on their personal journey or work with them to bring about continued improvements in our city and region.”
“The Community Foundation is delighted to be able to support the Your Heroes Awards.
“Every year we help hundreds of community and volunteer-led groups across the area who provide thousands of hours of voluntary service to their local community.
“We are all too aware of the fantastic work that goes on and the exceptional commitment that people show to their area to improve the lives of local people.
“Too often these people fly under the radar, and their work is not as well-known as it could be. The fact that the Your Awards Heroes will help to raise awareness and provide recognition of their selfless work is fantastic and shows just how vital the event is.”
“It’s our privilege to be involved in the Your Heroes Awards again. Last year’s awards were a brilliant success and were humbling to be a part of, celebrating the fantastic achievements of local people.
“It is right that we recognise and give our heartfelt thanks to unsung heroes, who through their selflessness help to make Stoke-on-Trent the warmest and friendliest of cities and who enrich the lives of so many others.
“We have a great tradition and strong commitment to civic pride in our city and we can all draw inspiration from the amazing stories of residents.”
