A BRADFORD shopping centre is looking to recognise a third and final unsung hero in a monthly competition.
The Broadway, Bradford is looking for entrants for its Local Hero contest.
Each month since February one nominated hero has scooped a £250 shopping voucher to spend in any of the centre’s 80 retailers.
Former Immanuel College pupil Caitlin Brimacomb from Thackley was crowned as The Broadway’s second ‘Local Hero’ for March.
Nominated by her mum, Bianca Brimacomb, Caitlin, 20, was awarded for her tireless fundraising efforts in her local community plus events for Macmillan and a skydive for charity, Mind.

Meanwhile, Sergeant major from Girlington was named as The Broadway’s first local hero for February.
Michael Chin-Chan, 64, was awarded the prize for inspirational Facebook Live sessions that he conducts weekly for the ex-military community to support the effects of PTSD and his mighty fundraising efforts which saw him run 5km everyday during Ramadan in 2020.
Ian Ward, general manager at The Broadway, urged people to get their nominations in for the monthly honour.
He said: “We’re urging people in the region to let us know about acts of nobility in our community so we can celebrate them as a Broadway Bradford Hero.”
The centre is urging people to nominate their local hero via an online submission form at broadwaybradford.com/events/do-you-know-a-local-hero.
The online application form also features a section for people to explain why, in 500 words or less, the nominee deserves to win the accolade. The final winner will be announced at the end of the month.
