PubAid has launched its latest Community Pub Hero awards.

This year, pubs can choose to enter either a Community Support or Charity Fundraising category and nominate one of their regulars for their contribution to the pub's activities, to become a Community Hero Regular.

Pubs can enter via a brief form on the PubAid website, while companies are welcome to nominate their licensees and MPs are encouraged to suggest worthy locals in their constituencies.

After the closing date, judges will publish shortlists for each category. All finalists will be invited, with their MP, to attend a reception in London, where the overall winners will be announced.

Co-founder of PubAid Des O'Flanagan said: "We're delighted to be running the Community Pub Hero awards again and recognising pubs who are providing much-needed support for their local communities and charities.

"We're also pleased to be introducing the new Community Regular Hero award. We know that pub fundraising and other community support activities are often driven by an enthusiastic individual or group of stalwarts. It seems only right to share the limelight with them."

Dudley South MP and All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group chairman Mike Wood said: “These awards are a great opportunity for MPs to celebrate how landlords in their constituencies provide vital support, either through fundraising for charities or other help for those in need locally. Over 60 MPs across the country came forward with nominations last year and we hope to see a similarly enthusiastic response this time.”
