Council bosses refresh calls for Dundee Citizen of the Year 2022 nominations

City Council bosses have upped their search for Dundee's Citizen of the Year.

They are welcoming suggestions for the title with the selection process closing on Hogmanay.

Each year they choose someone - usually a volunteer from the local community - to highlight their work and selfless efforts.

It is an opportunity to recognise someone who has gone the extra mile to support their community.

They launched this year's hunt last month and today have refreshed calls for nominations in their search for a winner.

Last year’s Citizen of the Year was Samantha Bruce of Food for Thought in Charleston and Lochee Community Larders, who continued to carry out the role for two years, throughout the pandemic.

Judges will be looking in particular for selfless service to a voluntary body or the community, or someone whose service brings distinction and quality to everyday life in Dundee.

There is no age barrier, but nominees must live within Dundee City Council's area.

Lord Provost Ian Borthwick said: “The past year has been a year like no other and it has been inspiring to see how individuals have gone above and beyond to support those around them.

“I have no doubt that we will get a high calibre of nominees, which will truly reflect the spirit of Dundee.”

Copies of the form are available on the Council's website here.

Nominations close on December 31 2021, with the winner announced early next year.
