Hospice searching for its top volunteer
Keighley kindhearts who help Manorlands could be in line for an award.
One volunteer will be given this year's Gordon and Monica Vestey Award for services to the Oxenhope hospice.
The award is open to anyone who helps Manorlands, from community fundraisers to volunteers who work in the hospice.
Nominations are being invited from local people by May 30 and the nominees will be judged by an awards committee.
Lynda Yewdall, the volunteer co-ordinator, said the award would be presented at the annual supporters' meeting on June 23.
She said: "So many people help us by volunteering at the hospice, fundraising in groups or at work, or by representing Manorlands in the community.
"We are grateful to each and every person who gives their valuable time, effort or donations to help in some way."
Last year's winner was Gwenda Marsden, a volunteer at the hospice for more than 30 years.
Anyone can nominate a person, club, organisation or company that has helped Manorlands during the past financial year.
They should write the name, details of the support and why they think the nominee should win, along with their own name, address and telephone number.
Nominations should be sent to Lynda Yewdall, volunteer co-ordinator, Manorlands Hospice, Oxenhope BD22 9HJ, or phone 01535 640430 for a nomination form.
