WE are so excited about celebrating The Pride of Bury Awards 2018 next Friday with all our Finalists and special guests!

It’s one of our favourite events of the year, sharing such a wonderful evening recognising so many true heroes from across the Borough of Bury.

We launched the Awards in 2015 to celebrate Bury’s unsung Heroes in Josh’s legacy.

The awareness has been increasing each year, and this the fourth year its been incredible, we had over 17K votes by the public for our finalists!

The Pride of Bury of Bury Awards takes place on Friday, October 26, at The Village Hotel Manchester Bury.

The 14 categories are:

1. Our Little Hero

2. Our Brave Hero

3. Our Teenage Hero

4. Our Community Hero

5. Our Emergency Services Hero

6. Our Fundraising Hero

7. Our Sporting Hero

8. Our Teaching Hero

9. Our Caring Hero

10. Our Volunteer Hero

11. Our Professional Caring Hero

12. Our Little Fundraising Hero

13. Our Family Hero

14. The Joshua Wilson SuperJosh Ultimate Hero Award

The Awards are designed to recognise the contribution made by other heroes living, working and volunteering in the borough of Bury.

The categories the reflect the contribution made by people in everyday life, and both highlight and celebrate how they make Bury rightfully proud.

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors who without their support we would not be able to make this happen.

There are many people who live and work in Bury, whose contributions to life, to teaching, to living and to caring, go unthanked and unrecognised.

Josh was an ordinary boy who coped with all that life dealt him in an extraordinary way.

We want these awards to celebrate the contributions and achievements of others in a similar way as Josh was celebrated.

It is amazing to be able to do this in Josh’s memory.
