Emergency Hero of the Year

This award aims to acknowledge those who we rely on around the clock to help protect and keep us safe.

Our emergency responders, including police, fire and ambulance services, along with our coastguard, air search and lifeboat crews, are our community guardians, on hand to deal with anything from major accidents to minor incidents, along with protecting our borders and carrying out life-saving rescues. Their work can be tough and is often done in extremely dangerous conditions on land, sea or air. Without their dedication and high standards, our islands’ unique safety would be jeopardised and lives would be lost. This is a chance to recognise their dedication.

Voting will open on 27 August 2026
