This is a chance to recognise those men and women in Sussex who have gone above and beyond their job description to help others.

They might have risked their lives to save another, or helped counsel someone through a very difficult time.

We want to know about those extraordinary people who do not care when the clock hits leaving time, but instead go beyond the call of duty.

All those nominated for this award will appear below as they are received so make sure to get your nominations in and keep visiting the site for updates.

This award is sponsered by Mears

We want to hear as much detail about your nominations as possible so feel free to send as much information on each nominee as you can think of.

Award winners will be announced at a glitzy awards night held at Theatre Royal Brighton hosted by newsreader Nicholas Owen in October.
