10 #GlosHeroes to celebrate this April
Singing police officers, intensive care nurses and even butchers all feature in our 10 handpicked #GlosHeroes this April 2021 – as part of our new 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 April 2021.
If the pandemic has shown us anything, it’s that Gloucestershire is full of incredible people doing amazing things for their community.
And, in the first monthly instalment in our new #GlosHeroes campaign, SoGlos is proud to be championing 10 of our local heroes in April 2021 – spanning a wonderful array of charity volunteers and essential key workers.

Woman, 32, locked in her body and unable to speak after sudden illness
Becky Kemp originally from Skelmersdale is now paralysed from the neck down and communicates with her eyes
Updated
A woman was left paralysed from the neck down after suffering from a stroke aged 32.
When Becky Kemp was rushed to hospital on November 30, 2019, it was initially assumed that she was too young to have had a stroke. Becky, then 32, spent the following ten weeks in hospital receiving treatment, with her mum Ronnie, who is originally from Skelmersdale, dad John and brother Rich by her bedside. The family, who are now living in Gloucestershire, were faced with the terrifying reality that around 90 per cent of patients diagnosed with locked-in syndrome die within four months.
