Harrow's heroes

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

This year is unique due to the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) emergency and we are dedicating it to key workers and volunteers with a month long celebration in September.

Thousands of people including essential workers are working exceptionally hard in ensuring we are kept safe, fed and supported during this difficult period. Their roles are also vital in helping our most vulnerable residents throughout the pandemic.

So we want to hear the inspiring stories behind our local heroes. If you know an individual or team who go above and beyond, submit your nomination – with any pictures or videos.

From our emergency services, carers, food distributers and teachers; to volunteers, street cleaners, befrienders and transport drivers – these are just a handful of things, but Harrow has an army of heroes. There are lots of great things being done in the face of adversity and we want to capture this.

Harrow’s Heroes will honour them for the amazing work they carry out to make a difference to others and their community, often without the recognition they truly deserve. It’s also an opportunity to say thank you to our local heroes.

This year the awards run for its 13th year and open anyone who lives or works in Harrow or serves Harrow residents. Run and operated by Harrow Council it attracts hundreds of nominations each year.

Nominations are open until 30 July.

We will be publishing all Harrow’s Heroes in a month long celebration on our social media channels in September
