GRANT giving charity, Talbot Village Trust, has been announced as the headline sponsor of the Daily Echo’s Dorset Hero Awards, which are set to take place later this year. The Dorset Hero Awards celebrate people in the local community that have recently gone above and beyond to support others. The virtual event includes 10 awards, split into four different categories focusing on healthcare, emergency services and our everyday heroes. Readers of the Dorset Echo and its sister titles in the region will be invited to nominate individuals for each award. The ceremony will be screened on Facebook on June 9 2021 and will be hosted by courageous Falklands War survivor Simon Weston CBE, who will also be accompanied by celebrity guests.
