THE St John Ambulance wants the Bridgwater public to get in touch and tell them about friends, family members, colleagues, or even strangers who’ve saved lives or championed first aid The charity’s Everyday Heroes awards, supported by Physio-Control, celebrate the nation’s life-savers with nominations closing at the end of February.
Steve Hargreaves, the South-West regional director for St John Ambulance, said: “Our Everyday Heroes awards give us a chance to celebrate and honour ordinary people who’ve done extraordinary things.
“We’re looking for anyone that’s gone out of their way to help people through first aid – from life savers, to campaigners, teachers, and fundraisers.
“Every year I am moved by the amazing nominees and their inspiring stories – they are all living proof that first aid can save lives.
“If you know someone who deserves recognition, nominate them for an Everyday Hero award.”
This year’s finalists will be invited to an exclusive awards ceremony hosted by sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher at the Lancaster London hotel on July 1.
