Our care workers and community leaders are keeping us safe and keeping our communities going whilst we tackle COVID-19, but there are countless other unsung heroes who are all playing their part to help each other and strengthen the sense of community we have in our local area.
These heroes are the business owners who have offered much needed supplies to be delivered to food banks, they are the good samaritans who reach out to the elderly and isolated - and they are our 100+ Bishop Auckland Community Angels who have volunteered to help out at our time of need.
I am proud of our community's response to this virus, and so many people’s selfless desire to help those in need. After the success of Our Unsung Heroes earlier in the year, we want to recognise those that have gone above and beyond in 2020 with Unsung Hero of the Year.
If you know of people who are doing extraordinary things to help others, this shouldn’t go unnoticed: we want to hear about them. Please click on the link below and let us know about your unsung hero of the year - let us celebrate them.
