Do you know a Hemel Hero that deserves to be recognised?

Riverside Shopping Centre is looking is commemorate those who have gone above and beyond in the local Hemel community during what has been a difficult year for everyone.

The shopping centre in Hemel Hempstead is calling on the public to look local and crown your very own Hemel Hero - the winner will bag a prize bundle of goodies from Riverside Shopping Centre.

This could be an amazing teacher, who has made even Zoom classes enjoyable or perhaps a local community volunteer or even a friend or family who has supported and helped you through a tough time.

Don’t forget those on the frontline - from nurses and doctors to grocery staff and delivery drivers.

To nominate your chosen Hemel Hero, visit Riverside's Facebook page and tell them who you are nominating and the reasons behind your nomination.

Entries close on Tuesday, December 29 at 12noon, with the winner being announced on Riverside’s Facebook page.

Ian Welland, centre manager at Riverside said: “After such a difficult year for many, we wanted to end the year on a high and celebrate the good people of Hemel.

"We’ve all faced many challenging times throughout this year and it’s important we recognise those who have gone above and beyond – even when faced with difficulties themselves.

"We’re therefore looking to crown Hemel’s Hero of 2020, seeing the winner enjoy a fantastic prize bundle from stores here at Riverside.

"Entries close 29 December, so make sure to head over to our Facebook page to enter.

"We’re looking forward to receiving the fantastic nominations and good news stories from the local community.”
