The MSV Shining Stars Awards are back!

Many of you have told us how much you appreciated nominating Shining Stars in your community so for Autumn 2024 we are bringing back the ever-popular Awards Night.

All you need to do is nominate the person you would like to win an award. Nominations must be either an MSV customer or an individual or group that MSV works closely with. Nominations will be judged by Customers from our Customers & Communities Committee and the awards ceremony will take place on 14 November at The Lowry Theatre, Manchester.

So, who in the community would you like to see celebrated for being an all-round Shining Star, a real hero of the people?

Whether it’s helping a neighbour in need, greening up the community, or volunteering for the benefit of others, we want to hear from you.

Deadline for submissions is Friday 20th September 2024 at 5pm
