10 #GlosHeroes to celebrate this May
From volunteer vaccinators to the man making smiles in the sky, we’re showcasing the efforts of 10 handpicked #GlosHeroes this May 2021 – as part of our campaign to celebrate and thank people going above and beyond, sponsored by St. James’s Place and Gloucestershire County Council.
SoGlos readers across Gloucestershire have been nominating their #GlosHeroes and we’re proud to be celebrating 10 of them, this May 2021.
Gloucestershire is brimming with wonderful people that have been doing incredible things for their community throughout the pandemic – and SoGlos is proud to be shining the spotlight on them in our #GlosHeroes campaign.
‘Choked’ by Gloucester’s generosity, Hash Norat s next challenge is personal
Somewhere in the soul of the man who founded Gloucester Feed the Hungry is a willingness to reach for the moon to help others – and a wing walk will ensure he literally comes closer than ever before
Hash Norat shows off just a flavour of the generosity of his employer and Gloucester business, Unilever, with its donation of Easter eggs for Gloucester Feed the Hungry.
Nine-year old Arthur hands over the £80-plus he raised with his family for Gloucester Feed the Hungry to Hash Norat outside the group’s new city centre takeaway.
The Sixth Form Centre at the King’s School Gloucester has undergone a £2 million redevelopment to transform the 13th century building into a modern new space for the next generation of students.
As well as offering an outstanding education; varied co-curricular activities from music to sport; as well as leadership opportunities; its Future Skills programme gives sixth formers the opportunity to learn valuable life skills, from cooking to budgeting, to help get them ready to live independently when they leave the school.

1. Learning to cook
Learning to cook is one of the most fundamental life skills every young person should learn – because nobody really wants to live on a diet of Pot Noodles and takeaways when they go to university!
