The Mayor of Milton Keynes is calling on residents to nominate those people who have made an impact in our community for the Milton Keynes Local Heroes Awards 2021.
It’s the time of year when the Mayor of Milton Keynes asks you to nominate those residents or groups of people who’ve made a real impact in the community in the last year. And what a year it’s been! So many shining examples of people who’ve put others before themselves as they’ve sought to help each other through the many trials and tribulations of the last 12 months.
This year’s “Local Heroes awards” will obviously focus towards those who’ve made a contribution relating to the Covid-19 pandemic, but they’re not exclusively aimed at that. It’s aimed at anyone, individuals or perhaps community groups who’ve gone the extra mile and selflessly stepped up to help others and to make a real difference. And now, the mayor of MK, Andrew Geary is asking you to put forward those who’ve sought to make MK a better place this year.
“I’ve seen so many different examples of people who’ve stepped up to support others and help out in our locality this year” says Andrew. “And now it’s our chance to show our appreciation by nominating them for a local heroes award. Whilst Covid-19 has clearly impacted almost every person in our community it’s also brought out the very best in people in so many ways. Here’s your chance to say thank you in a really special way.”
“I’m grateful to Darren, Lia and the team at MKFM for agreeing to help host and promote the awards for me this year. In a year where we’ve all had to learn to do things very differently it’s great to have their support in helping with a very different form of presentation.”
