Previous winners have been nominated for bravery, helping others at school or college, coping with something life changing, helping the local environment or caring for an individual.

One of our 2018 Young Citizen of Honour winners was twelve-year-old Amber Munn. She was nominated for her passion and dedication to Fareham Musical Society despite suffering from extreme Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Hirschsprung's disease, which has been an inspiration to the group.

I would encourage anyone who may know a young hero like Amber to nominate them for this worthy award.”
