THEY are always there when you need them, know just how to turn that frown upside down and will more than likely have a Werther’s Original in their pocket or purse.

Grandparents often do not get the recognition they deserve but here at the Warrington Guardian we think it is time that changed.

To coincide with Grandparents Day on October 2, we are launching a search for the town’s best grandparents in order to give them a well-deserved treat.

The winners of our competition will pick up two hospitality tickets for a Warrington Wolves home game next season (fixture to be confirmed), a £50 voucher to spend in Chapelford Sainsbury’s as well as a hamper of preserves from afternoon tea business Room Forty in Woolston.

All you have to do to enter is send us a picture of your grandma or granddad (or the two together) with a short explanation why they are simply the best.

Please include your name, address and phone number as well as your grandparent’s full names, ages and address.

Entries can be sent in via our Facebook page or email them to hannah.bargery@nqnw.co.uk.

The competition is open to anyone who is a grandparent and lives within Warrington and the winners do not have to be a couple.

Deadline for entries is October 14.
