HEROES come in many shapes and sizes.
From the health care professionals on the frontline of the fight against coronavirus, to the supermarket workers keeping your cupboards stacked during the lockdown, there are amazing people from all walks of life doing their best in these unprecedented times.
Over the past few weeks we have covered - and will continue to cover - so many stories of amazing people and healthcare professionals doing wonderful things in these troubled times. But today, we are turning it over to YOU and your everyday heroes.
We want you to tell us about the workers who've made a difference to your lives. Be they shop workers, bin men, postal workers, newspaper delivery agents or nurses.
We are asking you to send your nominations below, or by tagging us on Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #lockdownheroes and next week we will print a special edition name-checking as many of them as possible.
Editor Samantha Harman said: "We are launching this campaign to shine a light on all those people out there who don’t get the recognition they deserve for the everyday heroics they perform.
"It can be anyone from your bin men and your doctors to your neighbours, or even members of your family who have gone the extra mile. The coronavirus epidemic is unlike anything we have ever experienced.
"It’s stressful for everyone and this is an ideal time to highlight the good news stories coming from people who are living and working in our communities."
Nominate your everyday heroes
It's time to say THANK YOU to essential workers who keep us going in tough times. Whether it's a nurse, GP, bin man, postal worker or newspaper delivery agent or shop worker - nominate them now for a shout-out in the Oxford Mail.
