YOUR Worcester News has teamed up with netmums.com to find mums who make a positive difference in our community.

The Netmums Mum of the Year competition will celebrate the achievements of mothers across the country and recognise the hard work of mums who juggle many commitments and still find time to help others.

We want to highlight many of the extra activities undertaken by mums to support their local community.

Even though mums juggle so many things - kids, work, housework, cooking - they still find time to help others.

Siobhan Freegard, who co-founded Netmums while raising her own family, said: "In many ways, the work mums do in our communities is the foundation of our whole society.

"But because it isn't seen as having a commercial value, our effort is often left unrecognised by the real world.

"The idea for Mum of the Year was born from frustration at the celebrity version of this award, which rewards style over substance.

"If you know a mum who is a real role model and who inspires those around them, we want to hear from you."
