Local Hero nominations

We’re giving people in the Borough the opportunity to nominate individuals, organisations or volunteer groups for two different awards to celebrate their contributions to the community.

Nominate your Local HeroThis year has been challenging for many people across the Borough as coronavirus has continued to have an impact on day to day life, it has also brought people together and we have seen people go above and beyond to help others.

As a community, people in the Borough have pulled together to support each other during this time, whether they are vulnerable and shielding or a struggling small business, the kindness many people have shown has been great to see so we are giving people in the Borough the chance to nominate their ‘Local Hero’.

If you know an individual or group who you think has helped significantly during the coronavirus

pandemic, you can submit your nomination at eastleigh.gov.uk/local-heroes. If you are nominating an individual, please ensure you get their consent first. If you aren’t able to complete the online form, please detail the story in approximately 300 words and send to Harry Stow, Eastleigh House, Upper Market Street, Eastleigh SO50 9YN.

Nominate your Citizen of HonourDo you know someone who has made a substantial contribution to the community or has helped to make the Borough a better place? If so, they could be made one of the Borough’s Citizens of Honour.

The Citizen of Honour award is granted every two years to people who have given long and exceptional service to their local community.

If you would like to recommend someone for the Citizen of Honour award, please send their name and the reasons why you think they should be nominated to the Mayor’s Office, Eastleigh House, Upper Market Street, Eastleigh SO50 9YN or email mayorsoffice@eastleigh. gov.uk by 5 January 2021. All nominations will be treated with the strictest confidence.
