Moray & Banffshire Heroes 2025: Nominate your brave children
The bravery of children who face adversity and overcome challenges in their young lives never fails to inspire.
Moray & Banffshire Heroes 2025 celebrates these inspirational youngsters with the brave child of the year award.
NOMINATE your Moray & Banffshire Heroes by midnight, Sunday February 2.
The brave child of the year will be a youngster who has demonstrated exceptional courage, bravery or faced extreme adversity to battle against all odds to overcome challenges or shown sheer strength through a difficult time.
Macduff Shipyards is once again sponsoring the award for brave child of the year.
Matthew Watt of Macduff Shipyards said: “Macduff Shipyards Limited are delighted to once again sponsor the brave child category and be a part of the 2025 Moray & Banffshire Heroes.
“With the company's historic base in Banffshire and its new developing base in Buckie, Moray, we feel that it is very important to support the communities and acknowledge the work of the inspirational youth in the area.
“We chose to support the brave child award as we felt it reflects the company's long tradition of hiring a large amount of apprentices each year. Training, educating and looking after our young employees has been an important aspect of the business and has helped our company to grow alongside their careers.
“We look forward to the awards ceremony and learning about all the candidates for the award.”
