(May 27, 2021)Tomorrow, Friday 28th May sees local MP Dr. Andrew Murrison launch an invite for nominations of volunteers, key workers, businesses, schools or other local organisations for recognition and thanks for their heroic efforts during the Covid pandemic.
“While most of us want to move on from the events of the last year and begin a ‘new normal’, we should remember and recognise those in our communities who went the extra mile,” said Andrew.
“They embody the local and national “Keep Calm and Carry On” spirit which has been key in keeping communities together during Britain’s largest peace time crisis.”
Among the activities Andrew welcomes nominations for include helping the vulnerable with examples being used by delivering food, medicines, and other essential goods to those unable to travel to shops or providing support to the lonely.
Aiding and assisting the young through the provision of online schooling, tutoring, or extracurricular activities while school premises were closed.
Helping key workers by supporting families while at work.
Working or providing services in the face of extreme challenges.
Otherwise keeping morale high through community activities, for example, through lockdown quizzes or creative social events.
Adapting to the challenges of lockdown and the changes in demand for goods and services - pubs doing takeaways or deliveries for example.
“I knew straight away who I would encourage locals to nominate,” said Cllr. Paul Macdonald.
“Our Warminster Action Group which got up and running so quickly.
"I hope Andrew has enought time to go through all the nominations he could get just from Warminster alone!"
