New award launched to celebrate the over 60s in Cumbria
Churchill Living has launched a local hero awards to celebrate over 60s in Cumbria With just two weeks to go until nominations close, Churchill Living is encouraging people in Cumbria to shine a spotlight on the everyday heroes over 60 who are making a real difference in their communities. The Churchill Living Local Hero Awards were launched earlier this spring to celebrate the positive contribution of older people, from tireless volunteers and fundraising champions to those who simply show up day after day with kindness, compassion and care. Anyone aged over 60 can be nominated, or nominate themselves, for going above and beyond in their local area. Finalists will be invited to a special ceremony at a Churchill Living Lodge this summer, where the overall winner will receive a donation of up to £1,000 to give to a charity of their choice. Spencer J McCarthy, Chairman and CEO of Churchill Living, said: 'The nomination period for our Local Hero Award is nearly over and we want to make sure the incredible older people in our lives get the recognition they truly deserve. "These awards are all about shining a light on the quiet heroes who give so much to others, often without asking for anything in return.
