Harrow's Heroes 2023

HH

Everyone knows a local hero

Our flagship community awards returns this September! And we want to hear about our local heroes.

Harrow’s Heroes celebrates the extraordinary achievements, hard work and dedication of people and teams who make our borough a special place to live and work.

It highlights and showcases the best of the borough. We know thousands of people go out of their way to help their neighbours and communities.

From our carers, food distributers, our emergency services, and teachers; to volunteers, street cleaners, befrienders and transport drivers – there are lots of great things taking place in our borough that we want to celebrate. 

No matter how big or small the difference made, we want to hear about the fantastic people who make our borough special.

The awards are open to everyone who lives or works in Harrow or serves Harrow residents.

This year the response was fantastic with more than 100 nominations. We are now in the process of getting in touch with all nominees and finalists.
