    The Make a Difference Awards are your chance to say thank you and recognise those who improve lives where we live.

    BBC Radio Scotland wants to celebrate and say thank you to people and animals living in our towns and cities who make where we live a better place.

    Every day we hear stories of people doing incredible things for each other and their communities. Now it’s time to recognise them for all their hard work.  

    Whether it’s caring for someone in need, being a brilliant neighbour, or inspiring children in the classroom, if you know someone who is really making a difference to your life or where you live, then you can nominate them for an award.

    There are eight categories:

    • The Volunteer Award
    • The Young Hero (New to 2025)
    • The Great Neighbour Award
    • The Active Award  (New to 2025)
    • The Animal Award 
    • The Green Award
    • The Fundraiser Award
    • The Community Group Award 

    How to nominate 

    Nominations are now open. You can nominate at bbc.co.uk/makeadifference.

    Winners will be selected by a panel of judges, and awards will be given in each category, across each national and local BBC radio station. Shortlisted finalists will be notified from June 2025. 

    The winners will be announced at the Make a Difference awards ceremony in September.

    The closing date for nominations is 5.00pm on Monday 31 March 2025.
