A festival of volunteering has been announced to mark the Coronation of King Charles and to celebrate, I am hosting the Scottish Borders Community Volunteer of the Year Awards.

Volunteers are the backbone of the Scottish Borders community.

Without their dedication and hard work, many local services would not be able to function.

If you know someone who makes the Scottish Borders a better place, please nominate them below 👇

Nominations close on Friday 28th April and the winners will be announced shortly after.
