The award will be presented to an individual who has been beyond generous in volunteering their time and talents to help others as an unpaid activity.

Joint managing director at Cairngorm Group, Chris Dowling, said: “Highland Heroes is a fantastic way to show our appreciation to so many unsung heroes across the north of Scotland.

“Volunteers are key to so many charities and organisations, and without them, so many important activities simply wouldn’t take place. This is a great way to give something back to those who give so much.

“We would encourage everyone to think about those people who are making a huge difference, often with little or no recognition, and nominate them so they know how much they are appreciated.”
