We Rise Together campaign set to honour those who have gone above and beyond for the community during Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought out the best of in our local community. Now, Hammersmith & Fulham Council is asking for help in honouring the people you know who have shown selflessness, compassion and creative thinking to help others.
It’s part of the council’s new ‘We Rise Together’ campaign to celebrate those individual and collective kindnesses that have helped and inspire all of us.
“If there’s anything uplifting to come out of this terrible pandemic it is the inspirational acts of kindness that have been happening in a myriad of ways each day during the current pandemic,” says Cllr Stephen Cowan, Leader of the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.
“I want us to celebrate these thoughtful and often heroic acts, to reflect how our community has come together with resilience and compassion.”
Who do you know?
Could it be the local artist that turned their talents to making facemasks for charity? Or the teacher that taught virtual classes everyday during lockdown. At Horton and Garton we ran a ‘Kind Act of The Week‘ campaign in June to find locals that had gone above and beyond in their community. We found landlords that donated their due funds to the Hammersmith Foodbank, and homeowners that offered their homes to key workers for free during the pandemic.
So if you know a person or group doing wonderful things for others, nominate them for ‘We Rise Together’ here.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, July 3. All entries will be considered by a panel of judges. For more details or the list of categories, visit: www.lbhf.gov.uk/we-rise-together
