Nominate Eastbourne’s unsung heroes

The Beacon shopping centre has teamed up with the Eastbourne Herald, inviting readers to nominate their hero who they think has gone “the extra mile” throughout. This could be anyone from a helpful neighbour, supportive friends, family members or even a stranger from Eastbourne and the wider district community who people think deserves a special thank you.

Three heroes will be shortlisted to win a £50 store voucher of their choice from any of The Beacon’s stores.

Head to The Beacon’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheBeaconEastbourne/ for details on how to enter from now until Sunday August 9.

A message from the Editor, Gary Shipton:

In order for us to continue to provide high quality and trusted local news, I am asking you to please purchase a copy of our newspapers.

With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our local valued advertisers - and consequently the advertising that we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you helping us to provide you with news and information by buying a copy of our newspapers.

Our journalists are highly trained and our content is independently regulated by IPSO to some of the most rigorous standards in the world. But being your eyes and ears comes at a price. So we need your support more than ever to buy our newspapers during this crisis.

Stay safe, and best wishes.
