MONDAY evening was a real pleasure for all of us at the Southport Visiter.
At the annual Community Heroes Awards night at Formby Hall, it was a real honour to rub shoulders with the people in our town and beyond who have made some incredible contributions to our community.
The girl with her leg in plaster who saved her nana after a bad fall down the stairs; the Tarleton youngsters helping the children of Ukraine; the man who founded a huge fun weekend in Southport for local kids and local charities; the 13-year-old schoolgirl who has put Prime Minister Gordon Brown on the spot about the environment; the pals who risked £1,000 each to create a major new fundraising event. The stories are remarkable, they people behind them inspiring, and the accolades that went to everyone on the night are richly deserved.
They are a fine example to us all.
