The annual search to find the county’s most courageous youngsters is back – and this time there’s a spooky twist.

The finalists in this year’s Ward and Partners Children’s Awards winners will get to attend a spook-tacular ceremony just a few days before Halloween.

The nomination period to find this year’s inspiring bunch of children has now opened.

There are six categories – and nominating a child, family or charity couldn’t be easier.

YOUNG FUNDRAISER: For the child or group of children who have raised fund for charity

GOING FOR GOLD: Fr achievement in sports, music, visual and performing arts despite disability

EXCEPTIONAL YOUNG CARER: For young carers who care for other family members
