BackKnow someone who gets people active?
ITV has launched a nationwide search to find role models and healthy heroes for the ITV Feelgood Factor Award.
It’s the second year of the ITV Feelgood Factor Award, as part of ITV’s support for the Department of Health's Change4Life campaign.
The title will go to an outstanding individual who supports and enables others to change their lives for the better. ITV viewers will be asked to put forward inspirational champions who encourage, by example, others to lead healthier lives. People like youth team coaches who introduce a generation of youngsters to amateur – and often professional – sport.
Exceptional role models might include sports teachers, fitness instructors, medical professionals, social workers and community champions who go the extra mile in setting others on the road to well-being or sporting excellence.
Last year’s inspirational winner was Andy Dalby-Welsh from Brighton.
Andy, who’s registered blind, is the driving force behind initiatives which enable disadvantaged and disabled young people to play sports. Andy ensures these youngsters are given opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach.
Nominees will share a determination to make it possible for those in their neighbourhood and beyond to have the confidence to make positive changes to their own lives. People with a “can do” approach to raising the aspirations of those whose own life choices are endangering their health or well-being.
Nominations can be made via www.itv.com/prideofbritain and for more information please contact joanna.pearman@itv.com.
The deadline for nominations is Friday August 27th.
