THE SEARCH for local superstars begins today (March 4) with the official launch of the South Wiltshire Hero Awards. The Journal, along with its sister lifestyle magazine South Wiltshire Living, is looking for those people in the county who deserve our thanks and recognition for all that they have done during the Covid-19 pandemic. There are a host of backers of the awards, including Principal Sponsor MIPermit. Journal editor Bill Browne, on behalf of the organisers, said: “We know there are many people who have done extraordinary things to help others in these troubled times and we are looking to our readers to tell us all about them.”
Dorset Hero Awards 2021
“All the best heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary”- Gerard Way. Many ordinary people in all walks of life have had to face incredible challenges in the past year. They put their lives on the line to help others and guide us through the pandemic. That’s why the Bournemouth Echo, Dorset Echo, Swanage Advertiser and Bridport and Lyme News will be honouring them. Now is your chance to help us find the people who are most worthy of recognition in Dorset.
There could be no better choice than Simon Weston CBE to present our awards, having shown amazing courage since the Falklands War. And we thank him for this.
