HSL Swindon is calling for people in the town to nominate local heroes who have gone to great lengths to support their community during the pandemic.

The chair company wants to recognise the incredible kindness and extraordinary efforts people have shown, to ensure their family, friends, neighbours, or vulnerable citizens have access to everything they need.

Head of retail at HSL Matt Farrar said: “During these turbulent times, we’ve seen our local community come together to support each other more than ever before – whether that’s through a friendly phone call, picking up a neighbour’s shopping, or going out of their way to care for someone in need.

“At HSL, we think that these acts of kindness, no matter how big or small, should be celebrated. That’s why we’re looking for the community hero of Swindon and want to urge as many people as possible to nominate someone they think warrants the title – we can’t wait to hear their heartwarming stories.”

The winner will get a Fortnum & Mason hamper as well as have the chance to be chosen as HSL’s national community hero and receive a bespoke, handmade HSL chair of their choice.

Nominations can be made via the HSL website until November 23. To get involved visit www.hslchairs.com/nominate-a-hero
