Pradeep Bhardwaj and Sunny Patel helped to ensure thousands had hot meals during the lockdowns.
Now both have been given community awards by The Rotary Club of Swindon Phoenix.
QMS Stores and Alexandra Park Convenience Store manager Sunny started by giving out thousands of free masks to the community at the very start of the pandemic and gradually expanded his services by delivering groceries and hot meals while supporting elderly and vulnerable people on a regular basis.
He told the Adver: “Some people had to self-isolate and didn’t have the energy to cook. So we started an initiative to deliver free meals in Chiseldon and then we delivered food all across Swindon.
