Local hero competition

Event

Do you know someone in Oxfordshire who deserves a £300 reward for having a positive impact on the community?

Ahead of opening its doors, Charlton Lodge is launching a search for local residents, charities, groups or clubs making a positive difference in the community, giving local people the opportunity to nominate their community heroes. If you know an individual or organisation that’s really gone the extra mile to help others in the area, let us give them the recognition they deserve!

Our ‘local heroes’ competition can be entered by an individual or organisation of any size – it could be someone who gives up their free time to help one particular person, or a charity that reaches hundreds. We want to hear about local heroes or groups that improve people’s lives and have a positive impact on our community.

You can nominate yourself or your club, or put forward a person or organisation that has helped you or someone close to you. All you have to do is fill the below form before 11:59pm on 28th October 2024 and explain why they deserve to be rewarded.

1st prize: £300
2nd prize: £150
3rd prize: £50
