**Financial services company Halifax is looking to give extra back to people who
give extra in their neighbourhoods. **

The company is providing an opportunity to recognise someone who makes a positive
difference in their community by nominating them for a Giving Extra Award. It could
be the person who does the weekly shop for the elderly or who volunteers at the 
local scout group. People that make local neighbourhoods better places to live.

There will be 66 winners across the country who will each receive £250 of reward
vouchers. Halifax will then announce a national winner who will be awarded £2,500
vouchers and a £5,000 donation to a local good cause.
