• Perhaps someone who has inspired his or her family, to give?
• Has someone you know created an idea that has changed people's lives?
• Whatever your story, Beacon wants to hear about it!

Beacon's Chair and former Broadcaster, Martyn Lewis notes: "The Beacon Prize, described by Chancellor, Gordon Brown MP, as 'the Nobel Prize of the charity world', aims to encourage a culture of giving in the UK by uncovering and recognising extraordinary achievements in the world of charity.

"Beacon has had a remarkable response to last year's Prize nomination scheme, revealing stories of extraordinary individuals who have worked to make a difference, be it locally or on a global scale. Each in turn represents the Beacon belief in the strength of individual philanthropy and we are confident this year's nominations will highlight the work of many more yet unnamed heroes who have given so much in the name of charity."

Nominations close on 1^st May 2007.
