The Youth Champion award will be presented to a young person of high school age, who makes a significant contribution to their local community, while Little Champion of the Year will reward a primary or nursery school pupil whose achievements, courage or bravery stand out.

The Senior Champion award will go to an inspirational person aged over 60 who contributes selflessly to their community and the Health and Wellbeing Champion award recognises those who have dedicated their lives to causes which improve the life chances and opportunities of people in the city. It could be an individual or a group.
