KIND-HEARTED Bromsgrove residents who help others could be nominated for an award as part of an initiative which town MP Julie Kirkbride is backing.
She is calling on organisations to identify older people who are volunteer "heroes."
The scheme is being spearheaded by the International Year of Volunteers (IYV) 2001 Group on Older Volunteering.
Those identified will be presented with a certificate and an invitation to the House of Commons.
Miss Kirkbride said: "Many older people have been volunteers for years.
"These are heroes of our community and we need to celebrate their contribution."
To put forward a name write to Julie Kirkbride MP, House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA.
