They were one of 11 winners in the Warrington Guardian Lockdown Heroes Awards. Dr Hilary told Kuldeep: “I can’t believe what I am hearing – you supplied at your own expense 35,000 meals, looking after the staff that you knew were working so hard in the hospitals. How did you achieve that?“ Kuldeep said: “Quite a few members of the community volunteered and the donations came from other people as well, not only the Sikh community, but some of the Christian community, the Muslim community and some people from overseas sent money. As soon as they heard what we were doing they were all eager to help.”
TEARS were shed and celebrations had as the Warrington Guardian Lockdown Heroes awards took place. It was the first time the Guardian has hosted a virtual ceremony, but it was an emotional evening as we presented a total of 10 awards. There was also a surprise special recognition award for Prof Simon Constable, chief executive of Warrington and Halton Hospitals, for his efforts leading his teams through the Covid pandemic. You can read more from Prof Constable in next week s Warrington Guardian, and in the meantime find out why he was nominated by his staff by watching the video above. Dr Hilary Jones was the perfect host of the event, in association with Warrington Borough Council and Warrington Hospital, as he helped to celebrate and recognise the incredible efforts in our community over what has been such a challenging year.
