The deadline for entries to Unsung Heroes, which recognises convenience store owners and staff members who ‘go the extra mile’ to help their customers and local communities, has been extended.

The initiative, organised by partners Independent Retail News and Nisa, will now close on 30 June.

Retailers can enter by filling in the entry form on page 20 of the June issue of Independent Retail News, providing as much information as possible, or by emailing their details to david.shrimpton@emap.com. Winners will be invited to a VIP lunch at a top venue later in the year to receive their certificates and prizes.

Winners in 2020 included Miv Chahal, who owns a 1,690sq ft store in Prudhoe, Northumberland, and was among the first independents to set up a free delivery service for elderly and vulnerable customers when cornonavirus struck early last year. A keen marathon runner, he also undertook a sponsored run for local charities.
