Amanda launched AAA Motorcycle Training in March 2019 with the ethos that a business should give back to the community that supports it. She has, despite personal health concerns, not only grown a successful business but created SAMS (Safety Always Makes Sense) a foundation to support Motorcycle Safety to the young riders in our local community and beyond. Amanda and her Team of Motorcycle characters are a popular sight in Ely and the surrounding areas, collecting donations for the Food Bank at Christmas and Easter and of course during the Lockdown, collecting and delivering prescriptions for those shielding and vulnerable. When the Judges spoke to her in early July they had delivered over 7,500, all free of charge. “Her passion and determination to help others really shines through, she is unstoppable!" says one of her nominators.

Sharon is a quiet and unassuming Hero – she has printed 3D visors from her home to protect key workers during the Covid 19 Crisis. With a daughter working on the front line in the NHS, Sharon wanted to do something to help. Using her Aldi special buy 3D printer (other supermarket printers are available) she started a production line in her home, soon encouraging others to join in the efforts!  Quickly realising the visors were in demand, Sharon prioritised local organisations in need, with donations not only going to Addenbrookes and Hinchingbrooke but also for local GP Surgeries, Opticians, Midwives, Welney Ward and Care Homes. One of her nominators says “she has done this all without expecting anything in return”

Danielle and her family sadly lost her Sister earlier this year at the age of 40 following a lifetime of severe health issues. Danielle was nominated for being their Hero, for putting her own life on hold and supporting those around her, over and above herself. She is a planning several fundraising activities in future years. Currently Danielle donates 5 days of her time, every year to volunteer with charities and last year fed 10 families in need for Christmas Dinner.  Her nominators describe her this way “Danielle shows sheer courage and selflessness despite the horror of what life has thrown at her, she gives us all hope and light”
