This year, as well as celebrating volunteers who have been encouraging people to
become more active for years, the BBC is particularly interested in hearing about
young inspiring Unsung Heroes.

is available on the [BBC’s Get Inspired webpage](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/get-inspired/27037119).

 

The deadline for entries is midnight on 21 October. A shortlist will then be drawn
up and 15 regional winners chosen. These will go forward for the national award,
to be chosen by panel of media and sporting professionals.

of clubs including walking, running, and general fitness clubs.
