Do you know a community hero?
Charnwood Borough Council is encouraging local people to nominate their heroes ahead of a special community day to be held in August.
The council is looking to recognise individuals who make an outstanding contribution within their local community.
Heroes can range from someone who litter picks in their local area to supports and organisers of voluntary groups.
