In May, we invited our followers on Facebook to nominate someone who is going above and beyond during these challenging times, the unsung heroes who are making life better for people around them. Five of these heroes would win a Nomination bracelet with choice of charm to say Thank You.
We were completely overwhelmed by the number of entries but also by the incredibly moving stories that were told. Every single one deserved to win but sadly there could only be five.
Here are the winning nominations:
Kelly Martin nominated her mum, Carol Gordon
“I would like to nominate my mum, as she is a front line worker in a supermarket, she is on the checkouts and is in the firing line of all the abuse shop workers get she starts work at 6 and when she finishes at 1 her day is not over because she then does shopping and delivers it to 3 different households. My mum is such a hard worker and thinks of others before herself to ensure we are all safe and well. I think to win this for my mum will show the appreciation we have for her still working in the awful time.We chose our first charity, Julia’s House, in 2016. Based in Poole, Julia’s House is not a typical children’s hospice. They provide practical and emotional support for families caring for a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition, providing frequent and regular support, in their own homes, in the community or at their hospices.”
Alan Lam nominated Carrie Ann Barrow
“I am nominating Carrie Ann for her support work. She has continued to work hard to support members of the community in Poole as well as look after her mum and late dad who unfortunately passed away in the last few weeks.”
Georgina Jacobs nominated Emma Cole
“My best friend qualified as a Nurse and went straight into full-time work during this crisis on a cancer ward. Her ward has become an end of life COVID care ward. She has only had one weekend off since starting work in March! She had to learn a years worth of skills in six weeks to ensure full independence. She has worked unbelievably hard, doing such long hours often going without a break. She is a bright beam of joy who has not stopped smiling despite what she has faced. For a newly qualified nurse, she has already seen and endured things that people who have worked for many years have not even dreamt of. I am so proud of her for everything she has done and everything she is.“
Ruth Chettleburgh nominated June Barrow
“My amazing step-mum not only works for the NHS as a health care assistant (doing nightshifts), but she’s been a carer for my Dad for the last 14 years after he became paralysed following a stroke. She is a genuinely decent, caring & loving person & I’m so grateful to have her in my life. My Dad sadly passed away 27th April this year, but she is still doing whatever she can to support us with our grief, even though she herself is suffering the same pain.“
Liliana Frulli nominated Kayleigh Frulli
“I would like to nominate my sister as she is the Manager of the Magna Care Centre and has continued to go above and beyond for all her residents during this unprecedented time. She is leading her team so well, ensuring they are safe and guiding them to keep the residents safe to. She created a wonderful VE day celebration for the residents and ensures that they are able to be in regular contact with relatives when you cannot see them at this time. This is all whilst being a mother of 3 with her youngest about to turn two. She really is doing such an incredible job and showing true strength, courage and calm to carry on.”
Thank you for your nominations. We felt that everyone who had been nominated should be celebrated so we’re delighted to let you see how awesome they are here:

“My wife continues to work through every impossible scenario, not only working full time in her own role as a community matron, she’s also working weekends as a community nurse and in the coordination team, desperately trying (and achieving) to keep the hospitals free for those who genuinely need it. We’ve been together for 30 years and I’ve never seen a more dedicated and compassionate nurse, than my wonderful wife.”
Paul Duffy nominated Angela Duffy
“Angela is my wife and hero. She has tirelessly looked after our two girls and myself during quarantine, being particularly careful with our youngest who has type 1 diabetes. She has kept our spirits up and held our family together. To top this, in the last week, our disabled son was taken to hospital seriously ill with a virus and chest infection.

“Beth started a temp job at the council just before lockdown. Despite having a young family she has taken on extra duties helping those needing benefit help in these awful times. She cannot work from home, having to go into the office to ensure those in severe financial difficulties at least have someone to turn to. Taking all this in her stride despite having anxiety problems, supporting her husband when his beloved grandad passed away due to Covid 19 makes her very deserving of this present. Thank you.”

Gemma works on the Oncology ward at Bournemouth hospital. She immediately volunteered to work permanent nights and extra shifts when the pandemic started as she is single and most of her colleagues have children. She works long and tiring hours but she uses her days off to do shopping for her mum who is shielding due to her health issues as well as friends who cannot go out. She keeps in touch by text and calls to make sure all her friends are well, helps is out if we need shopping, spreads her special brand of love and cheer despite her long and draining working hours with nobody to go home to at the end of the day. She listens to all of our worries and concerns and is happy to give her professional advice when it comes to any medical worries at a time when seeing our GP feels like a little bit of a luxury. She is the most selfless, loving and caring person….I always describe her as the family I chose because as friends go you would be hard pushed to find anyone to hold a candle to her.”
Christine Sanders nominated Gill Rutherford
“Gill retired at Christmas and set up a little sewing groups – Colehill Sew and Sews and we started making a few dresses for the Dress a Girl around the world scheme. The members of the group have very limited sewing skills and in the main very old machines. When the current covid 19 pandemic started Gill found out that many staff need lots of scrubs, headbands to save their ears from the face masks they have to wear and scrub bags to put their possibly contaminated clothes into. She changed the groups aims and quickly started organising us all into teams and then adapted again as demand grew. She managed to get some funds from charities and has collected fabrics from many places. She distributes the fabrics to the cutters, overlockers and sewers and then arranges to get the finished garments to where they are needed most – I believe we have sent things to Poole Hosp, Dorchester Therapy team, Victoria Hosp Wimborne, Bournemouth Hosp, Southampton Hosp and Guys and St Thomas and our local care home Streets Meadow Wimborne. She is working pretty much around the clock and as she said to me one day her home now looks like a Chinese laundry. This is all done with a cheery smile and giving support to a few members of the group who joined because they are low or lonely or feel a bit useless. She is an unsung hero at the current time and deserves a big thank you.”

Michelle Lambert-Roe nominated Maria Smeaton
“In 2016 I was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour. She was a work colleague that I had known for approx 1 year before this.
Obviously when I found out I had time off from work for an op and treatment. She visited me every 3 weeks, we then started going for lunch, she was my rock.
If I ever had to go to an appt on my own, she would offer to take me and she did. When I has radiotherapy a year later, again she took me on the days that my then partner couldn’t.
She was overjoyed when my partner proposed on the 10th year of us being together, which was Oct 2019.
Being as though I am turning 40 this year and it falls on a Saturday (23rd May) we had planned to do it then. One big party.
However when I had another appt with my Oncologist she suggested we bought it forward.
So the 29.02.2020 it was.
She helped so much, and looked for things for me when I couldn’t (as my diagnosis meant I had to surrender my driving licence.)
She offered to drive me to my wedding to save costs, she also looked for a bolero, found one and paid for it. She had purchased some earrings for me for my birthday last year and our colour scheme was ivory and blue.
The earrings had a sapphire in the middle and cubic Zirconia around the outside.
She has been the kindest, caring person I have ever met.
I have since had to retire on ill health as my tumour has now regrown and it’s terminal (hence the bring the wedding forward.)
She is still here for me and is like a sister I never had.
Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.”
