Today Suffolk’s seven MPs have chosen their winners of the ‘Suffolk Heroes Awards’. The awards celebrate some amazing individuals and teams across Suffolk, who have given so much to their local communities as we faced the pandemic.
Suffolk MPs have received a flood of nominations of individuals and teams the public felt deserving of recognition for their efforts. Award winners range from vaccination volunteers, NHS frontline workers, members of care staff and some of our fantastic volunteers supporting our local charities. Winners will receive their awards over the coming week.
Therese Coffey MP said “I’m really proud of how every single one of our communities have come together during coronavirus – with help and support available via local groups in every corner of our county. This has only been possible by the huge amount of volunteers who put themselves forward. That’s why my fellow MPs and I want to recognise our Suffolk’s heroes. I would like to congratulate all nominees for their extraordinary efforts during the pandemic.”
