Family Heroes Awards 2012

    Over the summer 4Children and Take a Break scoured the UK to find heroes among us who have transformed the lives of children and families and who have really helped and given hope through times of adversity.

    We received hundreds of nominations from all across the country. The nominations received were of a very high standard with many stories of wonderful people going above and beyond to make a lasting difference to a child or family. Finally we narrowed them down and chose a Hero for each of the 9 English regions, and for Wales, for Scotland, and Northern Ireland. We also had 3 finalists from the RAF Community for the special RAF Family Heroes Award.

    The evening proved to be a night to remember for all of those involved, particularly so for the winning heroes who were invited up on stage to receive their awards and get their photo taken alongside the celebrity hosts. The overall National Hero was also announced on the night from the regional heroes and presented with a £2000 cheque kindly donated by Take a Break.

    Below is a list of all of our inspirational heroes, please click on the awards to find out more information about the hard work that they do.
