The full list of nominees has been revealed for this year’s Harrow’s Heroes Awards, which return in September.
The awards celebrate the extraordinary achievements, hard work and dedication of local people and teams who make Harrow a special place to live and work.
Harrow’s Heroes were first launched by Harrow Council in 2007 to recognise local people who go above and beyond for their community. Since then, the annual event has grown into one of the borough’s most important celebrations, shining a light on individuals, volunteers, and groups whose work makes a real difference in the borough.
