Tesco NI launches search for community heroes

Tesco has launched a search for Local Northern Ireland Community Heroes as part of a province-wide initiative launched today – and it wants applications from Ballymena and the surrounding area.

The leading retailer which has more than 50 stores throughout Northern Ireland will select a monthly winner for the new awards which are aimed at recognising and rewarding people who have shown true hero qualities - either in the way they might have coped with adversity or the manner in which they have helped others.

Tesco NI Marketing Manager, Caoimhe Mannion explains this is a brand new initiative aimed specifically at rewarding Northern Ireland heroes.

“We want to hear all about the great local community heroes - many of them unsung - the length and breadth of Northern Ireland.”

If you’d like to nominate someone for as Tesco Local Community Hero award please send an email to Gerarda.o’[email protected]. You’ll need to insert LOCAL COMMUNITY HERO NOMINATION in the subject line together with the CANDIDATE’S NAME and contact details.
