A WOMEN'S group is seeking the young heroes in society.
The Leigh branch of Soroptimist International wants to honour the area's hard-working youngsters who make a valuable contribution.
As a result, they have set up a Youth in the Community Award and are calling for nominations.
A panel of judges will select the winner who will receive the title on September 18, the International Day of Peace.
Young people eligible are aged 14 to 25, are involved in volunteer activity, demonstrate initiative and personal commitment or make significant and noteworthy accomplishments as a volunteer.
Nomination forms, which must be in by August 31, are available at Cooks Shoe Shop, Market Street, Leigh, Rays Fashions, Market Street, Atherton, or at The Leigh Journal, Railway Road, Leigh.
Further information is available from Gill Bowyer on 01942 601931.
