TMF LOCKDOWN HEROES: Vote for your winner

Tuesday 16 June 2020

After nominations flooded in for Guernsey’s TMF Lockdown Heroes, the panel whittled down all the stories of “ordinary people doing extraordinary things” to a shortlist of just four entries, and you can now vote for your winner.

The TMF Lockdown Hero Awards - launched by TMF Group in partnership with Bailiwick Express - aim to say thank you to the heroes of the health crisis and celebrate the many local acts of kindness that have kept the islands going at a difficult time.

Now it’s up to the public to decide which of the four shortlisted heroes should win the £500 cash prize. Voting will close on Friday 19 June. 

The four shortlisted nominees are:

Sam Gibson, pictured with her children, was nominated by her sister and brother-in-law, who described her as a "superwoman", after working on the covid frontline, while caring for her own children and still reaching out to check up on other family members and friends.
