This year the 2023 Be Proud Awards were held at the Midland Hotel celebrating the best of Manchester's many volunteers and local advocates.
The council's annual awards help thank the extraordinary individuals and groups for their hard work in helping others and making a real difference in their communities.
From celebrating those helping with the cost-of-living crisis, to the special recognition of people aiming to create safer neighbourhoods, and the community's initiatives in promoting equality and diversity, the individuals and groups were nominated and awarded across 10 different categories.
