At midnight on Monday 30th April 2018 the curtains were drawn on Local Hero 2018. It was a truly nerve-wracking end to the campaign, with fundraisers fighting it out until the last second.

During the competition participating fundraisers were ranked on the Local Hero leaderboard according to the number of unique online donors who sponsored their page. The top 20 fundraisers were given prizes ranging from £100 to £1,000.

Huge congratulation go to this year's Local Hero champion, Lamyaa Hanchaoui, all of our other prize winners and indeed to all of the fantastic fundraisers who made Local Hero 2018 such an exciting competition.

Check out the final leaderboard here.

We depend on a steady stream of smaller donations via Localgiving. These donations alone give us the assured income to meet our operational costs. Matched funding, sponsored by both Localgiving and the Community Foundation have further bolstered our funds to allow us to undertake capital improvements to the Shed.
