**The Government is asking charities and voluntary organisations to nominate worthy
individuals for the Honours List.**

In the 2008 New Year’s Honours List 82% of all OBEs and MBEs were for people who
have undertaken charitable or voluntary service, either as part of their job or 
independently.

The Government says that it is keen to find similarly deserving people for future
[Honours](http://www.youtube.com/ukhonours), so is asking charities, volunteers,
local and health authorities, sports and faith groups and businesses to submit ideas
for who should receive Royal recognition for working so hard on behalf of others.

[Anyone can submit a nomination](http://www.honours.gov.uk): you do not need to 
be an official of any organisation.
