MORE readers have continued to get in touch with us regarding their community heroes who have continued to spread positivity and happiness during the coronavirus outbreak.

We want to help highlight the good work of individuals, groups and communities pulling to together and taking on selfless acts for others during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Here are three more nominations by you, our readers:

Mandy Bond has nominated Gill Rutherford and her group of sewers who call themselves "Colehill Sew and Sews". They have been making scrubs, masks holders and laundry bags for frontline workers.

She said: “Gill Rutherford and her team are working tirelessly to help provide extra equipment.

“They have done so much, including sending 67 pairs of scrubs off to Wimborne Hospital and making 60 scrubs for other hospitals, care homes and local individuals.

“The group have also made 300 scrub bags, 150 mask holders and hairbands and 18 scrub hats for hospital worker and carers.”

Mandy also wanted to highlight the work of Compton Acres who have been helping to deliver food to the vulnerable in the community, and Lovechurch Bournemouth whose #loveyourneighbour scheme has helped to distribute food parcels, pharmacy, pastoral support to those in the community.

Compton Acres are finishing their deliveries at the end of this month for when they are due to open their café and gardens.

Clare Robbin, a frontline radiographer who has worked at Royal Bournemouth Hospital for 25 years, wanted to nominate Robert Samson, 85, from Christchurch who has been baking sweet treats for staff to enjoy.

She said: “During this Covid-19 crisis, Robert has been baking amazing cakes and biscuits for the staff on the frontline twice a week all by himself for a while now!

“His cakes have gone down really well, and we look forward to them cheering us up!

“He said it gives him a purpose and we are so grateful for all his efforts! He really deserve recognition for his services.”

Manager at Avon View Care Home in Christchurch Amanda Elliott, who was nominated by Deputy Manager Magdalena Fratczyk for our 21st Century Hero Award, wanted to return the nomination by putting forward the team at Avon View as her community heroes.

Amanda said: “I strongly feel that all of them most definitely deserve same recognition. Their passion and commitment to our elderly residents is remarkable. It was because of the team effort and tireless, courageous work that we’ve managed to contain the virus within the units and mitigate the impact of an outbreak.

Amanda wanted to express her special commendation and respect to the whole team of care staff working on the Dementia Units Rose and Cherry for the additional support they provide for vulnerable individuals.

She added: “Each and one of them deserves the same recognition as we have together achieved the impossible.

“All staff working in health and social care with Covid-19 are extremely worried and concerned about their own health and health of their loved ones they share households with.

“However, despite the worries and fears, they continue to deliver best quality of care and support to our residents.”
