Time to nominate your active heroes

We are looking for mentors, leaders, volunteers, teams, and clubs that go above and beyond to encourage and facilitate sport and wellbeing across Hinckley and Bosworth.
 
Have you been nervous about starting a class but felt welcomed by an instructor? Do you have a child who has made progress in their chosen sport thanks to an inclusive team environment? Or do you know someone who wakes up early every weekend to volunteer for a sporting group? 

No matter who it is, we want to hear from you and celebrate their achievements and contributions to the community.
