IT’S time to vote for Bradford’s Community Stars as the shortlist is announced.
The special award ceremony, organised by the Telegraph & Argus and Bradford Council, recognises the district’s unsung heroes who go above and beyond to help others.
From young people already changing lives to volunteers with hearts of gold, it is a chance to celebrate the very best of Bradford.
These are the people who reach out to the city’s most vulnerable citizens; businesses going the extra mile for customers and the community; and kind hearted residents offering their time and money.
