WE want to know about the extraordinary people who do not care when the clock hits leaving time – but instead go beyond the call of duty.

The Community Star Awards recognise the unsung heroes in our communities – and on November 1 at the Theatre Royal in Brighton, we’ll be crowning the winner of our Beyond the Call of Duty Award.

Nominees for this category might have risked their lives to save another, helped counsel someone through a very difficult time or proved to be a shining star in a time of darkness.

They could include people like Adam Brooks, 39, from Brighton, who featured in The Argus late last year after selflessly roaming the streets at night to help keep the homeless warm.

With temperatures plummeting and the dark winter nights drawing closer, venturing out on the streets in November after a long day’s work would normally be the last thing on most people’s minds.

But selfless Adam did exactly that when he donated gloves, scarves and hats to rough sleepers after shifts at The Brighton Tavern pub.

Adam has embarked on his early morning escapades since a chance meeting with a rough sleeper in November 2012.

He said at the time: “I generally finish at 12.30am to 1.30am, depending on the day. Last year while walking home I got chatting to a girl rough sleeping on Western Road.

“It was a freezing night and I noticed she was not wearing any gloves, so I offered her mine. Her extreme gratitude for my small gesture really touched me and as I continued to walk, I noticed many other rough sleepers without gloves, hats and scarves.

“I pondered what I could do. The following day I put up posters in our two pubs, the other being the Brighton Tavern, asking customers to donate clothing so I could take it out each evening.”

If you know somebody like Adam who you think is deserving of a Beyond the Call of Duty nomination, let us know using the details below. Your vote could see them picking up a prize at the Community Star Awards in November.
