Having started the campaign last week, the Echo has once again received a large response of uplifting stories of selflessness and kindness for our readers.

Here are another six altruistic nominees.

Jae Harris and the team of volunteers at the Somerford Youth and Community Centre have been nominated for their continued hard work during these unprecedented times.

A regular customer said: “They run the peoples’ pantry and have been delivering food to homes across the area from FareShare. They have even increased their opening hours, so they are serving the community every day to make sure everyone has food.

“They deliver from their own vehicles and give up their time without asking for anything in return. I am so proud to live in a community that has people such as these.

“Jae and the team put everyone else first all year round and they have excelled in this time of crisis and I really want them to know how much they are appreciated. I feel blessed to live in Somerford.”

Healthcare worker Simon Foot has been nominated by Jason Sullivan, who said: “Simon works for the NHS but once he finishes a shift, he always messages to see if me or my family need any shopping and to see how we are doing.

“Simon goes above and beyond his role at the NHS. He is a local hero looking after his community.”

Nicky Adams put her nine-year-old son James forward for raising over £500 for the NHS by shaving his head whilst in isolation.

She said: “James decided to shave his head as he was inspired by the Thursday NHS clap and he wanted to think of a way to support the NHS whilst being stuck inside.

“Obviously, his options were limited but as his hair was getting longer, he decided to raise money by completely shaving it all off.

“He didn’t expect to raise so much money and he is really proud to have raised over £500 for NHS Charites Together.

“His dad Charlie, myself and his little sister Tallulah aged 7 are also incredibly proud of him for doing such a thoughtful thing.

Jacqui Bartlett and her two sons Kieran and Kai have been nominated by Nick Elvy for going out of their way to deliver much needed food, papers and supplies from the local Nisa to the community of Sturminster Marshall.

Customers of Broadway’s convenience store wanted to pass on her appreciation to the hardworking staff at the shop in Bournemouth for helping those in self isolation by delivering food.

A resident said: “Owner Lucy has been working all hours to facilitate having stock in for walk ins, collection and deliveries.

“She has been going the extra mile by trying to accommodate everyone and putting a smile on her face no matter how tired she is from all the extra work and hours.”

Faith Windle has nominated Claire Morrison as a community hero. Claire runs her own catering business, Airos catering, from home and has been making dinners and pack lunches for the elderly for free.

Faith added: “What makes this person stand out for me is that Claire has recently come out of having cancer and has had a terrible few years travelling back and forth to hospital, not knowing what the outcome would be.

“She has her own family at home to look after as well. It’s so humbling and such a selfless act of kindness.”
