The search is on for Lancashire's Young Citizen of the Year

The countywide awards take place every year to celebrate the county’s most caring young residents.

High Sheriff of Lancashire, Robert Webb, said: “I have found in my travels around the county this year that there is a huge amount of positive activity going on – and much of it being done by young people.”

The University of Central Lancashire are sponsoring this year’s awards.

Applications will be accepted until January 31 2018.

All finalists will be invited to attend a presentation at Lancashire Constabulary headquarters in March 2018, where the winner will receive £500 along with a trophy and certificate. Application forms can be completed online at www.lanpac.co.uk
