I would like to nominate Gill Gray, the wonderful montessori teacher of knockeevin, who has smiled every day despite being wheel chair bound far too early. Never a complaint or moan but always a cherry ‘ hello’ to all as she motors her chair around town with grand-daughter Martha on her knee.
Gill is a real inspiration to us all.
Kind Regards,
Carolyn Thornton

Sharon Felton.
Her courage in facing and going through a gruelling cancer treatment regime while all the time fundraising for charity at every opportunity….Greystones Cancer Support and Laura Lynn being two worthy recipients among those she has helped. She has also highlighted self care and self examination for breast abnormalities and encouraged medical intervention as soon as possible. She is a true local hero.
SĂofra Lawless to win the hero award.

Great gent and super photographer, known all over a Greystones etc. for his excellent social
photos but in doing that he manages to capture the essence of the people of the area.
He also has another great hobby , Ham Radio.
He talks to people all over the world under the call sign EI 2FN. True to say John has a vast circle of friends worldwide and in his beloved Greystones. A lovely gentleman

Mary Hackett is my local hero!!
I work in the acquired disability sector on a national level, and I couldn’t possibly do justice with my words here how important and rare the Open Door service is. The most wonderful staff who can’t do enough for their members. Most memorably I had a lady who was discharged home at the Christmas period. Her bathroom was awaiting adaptation but all she wanted was a shower to make her feel herself that Christmas. Mary’s Open Door, opened for her on the morning of Christmas Day so she could have that shower in their accessible bathroom – Only a hero would be so selfless! Thank you Mary and I don’t know what we would do without this wonderful service in this region. I only wish there was one in every county of ireland. Thank you & all the best, Cathrina

I would like to nominate Mary Hackett to win the 2022 Local Hero Award. While Ireland stands apart from many other countries in its vigorous support for people with intellectual disabilities there is a tremendous lack of services for those with strictly physical disabilities. Mary has pioneered a service just for those with physical disabilities and/or brain injury related impairment. The facility, Open Door, is a lifeline for people like myself who had no where to turn for basic social integration. Aside from socialisation, Open Door provides physio therapy, arts and crafts, painting, ceramics and woodworking. It has, quite frankly, saved my life.
