ANDREW Ching loves Worcestershire so much he set up a website to sing its praises.

The 27-year-old, who was born-and-bred in Worcester, is backing the Worcester News Pride In Worcestershire campaign, which was launched on Saturday.

There are hundreds of reasons why Worcestershire is a wonderful place to live, from the beautiful countryside and rich history, to the achievements of our famous ancestors and the relatively low crime rate.

So we have asked readers to join us in taking pride in the county and its citizens by nominating the people who make Worcestershire so special.

Andrew set up a website called www.seeworcester.co.uk to showcase the county's best bits.

He said: "I couldn't agree with this campaign more. There's so much rich history and architecture in the county of Worcestershire.

I've had a lot of friends visit from around the UK and they just think it is an amazing place.

"It is only when you go away from Worcestershire that you realise that what you have here is something very special.

"There is a uniqueness about the county that we need to preserve, and Worcester itself is a friendly, cultural, historic and thriving city. Let's celebrate it."

We want to highlight the generosity, achievements, and courage of the unsung heroes of our communities. If you know someone who makes you proud, nominate them by filling in the form below. It doesn't have to be someone in the public eye, just a person you think deserves a pat on the back.
