Make sure you put the evening of Thursday 6 October 2022 in your calendar to celebrate the brilliant work of Manchester's voluntary, community and social enterprise sector.
Who do you want to thank?
Building on last year’s success we are offering the opportunity once again for you to thank organisations and individuals in our People of Mcr category. The thank yous are open to individuals, groups and teams in the city of Manchester who have given their time, energy and skills (or combination of) to support the community over the last year. We want to hear about and celebrate the efforts of volunteers, good neighbours and anyone who has stepped up to help others. We also want to give thanks to those that are inspiring even more people to help others in Manchester during this time. In this non-competitive element of the Spirit of Manchester Awards we want to thank as many volunteers and organisations as we can and recognise their brilliant work over the last year.
In this thank you category we ask for submissions of who you feel should be acknowledged, highlighted and thanked for their outstanding work over the last year. It can be absolutely anyone – friend, neighbour or local community group our only stipulation is that they either must live in or have delivered their support within the city of Manchester.
The submission form for the open categories is below and the deadline is 1 September 2022.
We will also be asking people to make short films (one minute) to be shown on the evening - please tick the box in the form below if you are happy to be contacted regarding making a film. This is a great opportunity to show what you have been doing and you can then use the film on your own website and social media.

- Please attach a picture with your submission
- Nominations will close on 1 September 2022
Please note: You only need one nomination per organisation or individual in a category - it isn't the amount of nominations they get.

You can however nominate an organisation or individual under more than one category but please write different nominations for each.
