Last chance for Merseyside residents to
nominate their Brave Britons
RESIDENTS on Merseyside are being urged
to nominate unsung heroes and community champions as part of a nationwide search
to find 'The Best Of British.'
Global hearing specialist Amplifon has launched Amplifon Awards for Brave
Britons in memory of the company's founder and 2nd World War hero, Charles
Holland, who was honoured for his bravery by Britain and America.
After the war the courageous veteran dedicated his life to providing better
hearing for people affected by the conflict and in 1950 launched Amplifon, which
has become a global company specialising in providing the best in class hearing
solutions and devices.
To honour his valiant actions, The Amplifon Awards for Brave Britons will
celebrate the achievements of exceptional people from all walks of life, of all
ages and from all over the United Kingdom.
Nominations can be made in 4 categories:- Outstanding Military Bravery,
Against all Odds, Community Champion and Hero Pet and Amplifon are keen to
receive nominations from people in Southport and other areas on Merseyside,
including on the Wirral.
All those who nominate a hero will be entered into a free prize draw for a
chance to win a ₤250 M&S gift card.
Colin Hallwood, audiologist at Amplifon's Lord Street branch in the town said:-
"These awards celebrate the real unsung heroes in our local communities;
those truly remarkable people who are an inspiration to us all.
We are looking for people who have overcome adversity to take on an exceptional
challenge, community champions who have made a significant or inspirational
contribution to their neighbourhood, hero pets who have transformed the lives of
their owners, and former military personnel who showed courage in the service of
their country.
If you know someone who epitomises the 'Best of British' and deserves to be
recognised then we'd love to hear about them."
Closing Date: Friday 11 August, and nominations can be made via the Amplifon
website.
The winners will be unveiled by Falklands War Veteran, Simon West, who was
voted Britain's greatest hero in in a 2014 poll, at a ceremony in the Army and
Navy Club, London, on Tuesday, 17 October 2017.
A panel of judges will also choose an overall Hero from the category winners who
will win a trip to Italy.
