The Local Hero Awards 2026
The Local Hero Award celebrates the everyday impact of the people who go above and beyond for their customers, colleagues and communities.
These are the individuals who are often the first friendly face someone sees in the morning and the steady presence that keeps our businesses, neighbourhoods and city centre running, especially during busy, stressful or uncertain times.
From small acts of kindness to consistent professionalism and dedication, this award recognises those who turn ordinary moments into meaningful human connections. It shines a light on the quiet heroism found in patience, reliability and genuine care for others.
If someone in your business or community makes a real difference day in, day out, we would love to hear about them.
