Search for local heroes launched by Kingdom FM By Courier Commercial May 22 2021, 9.00am
Kingdom FM has launched its annual search for the unsung heroes of Fife as it calls for nominations for the Local Hero Awards 2021.
Now in its 14th year, the awards recognise the extraordinary people and organisations in our community who stand out because of their heroic achievements. Over the years the awards have become a major event in the Fife calendar and even been recognised in Parliament by MPs!
Dave Connor, Programme Controller at Kingdom FM, said: “For us, it’s all about shining a spotlight on those in our lives who make Fife a great place to be: the unsung everyday heroes. It’s been a tough year for us all, but through it we know there’s also some amazing stories that really deserve to be told and local heroes who need to be recognised!”
