Cornwall’s Heroes is back for its second year, and here at Cornwall’s Rewind Radio, we’re delighted to once again celebrate the incredible people who make our communities so special.
After an inspiring first year, where so many of you shared powerful stories of kindness, resilience, and dedication, we’re proud to bring Cornwall’s Heroes back. This is your chance to recognise those who are making a real difference across Cornwall, whether they’re supporting others, leading in their field, or quietly giving their time to help those around them.
From the Carers Award and Child of Courage to Community Champion and Unsung Hero, each category highlights the people who help shape our county in meaningful ways. We’ll also be celebrating young talent through awards like Rising Star and Young Sports Personality, alongside those making an impact in areas such as health and wellbeing, fundraising, local business, environmental sustainability, and more. There are also opportunities to recognise long-term dedication through honours like the Lifetime Achievement and Legacy Award.
Every nomination tells a story, and every story matters. That’s what Cornwall’s Heroes is all about. We want to give recognition to those who truly deserve it.
Nominate today!

More information about our sponsor - Duchy Hospital:
Duchy Hospital is Cornwall's only private hospital, part of Ramsay Health Care UK, one of the leading independent healthcare providers in England.
The hospital has an excellent reputation for delivering high quality healthcare for patients with health insurance, patients who are self-funding treatment or NHS patients exercising choice through the e-referral system.
We are proud to be in partnership with some of the most qualified and experienced Consultants, along with dedicated staff who are highly trained and pride themselves on maintaining the highest levels of patient care to encourage a full and speedy recovery.
We ensure all our staff are appropriately trained and receive regular updates in order to provide an excellent holistic clinical service based on current research. Your treatment will be Consultant led, and you will be treated by the same consultant throughout your treatment pathway.
As well as expert medical care we aim to provide superior facilities over and above those that you would find in any other local hospital. For example, most of our food is freshly prepared on the premises using local suppliers for meat, fruit and vegetables. We also offer free parking for all patients and visitors and all of our rooms have en-suite facilities as standard.
Our healthcare business has been built up over 30+ years of service provided by our experienced and qualified teams of doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals and managers. We also utilise the best practice ideas from our 35 sister facilities that are operated by Ramsay Health Care in the UK. We continually work with our infection control officer to minimise infection risk and maintain our excellent low rates of infection.
No-one chooses to be unwell but if you need hospital treatment, we hope that you would choose Duchy hospital based on its reputation for excellent clinical outcomes, its facilities and its friendly nature. We are your local hospital in the heart of your community.
It is because we care, that we are proud to say that 99.4% of our patients would recommend us.
