Airdrie & Coatbridge Advertiser
Nominate yourlocal heroes
Monklands residents are invited to put forward their entries for the British Heart Foundation’s Virtual Heart Hero Awards.
This is an opportunity to honour the health professionals and members of the public going above and beyond to help save and improve the lives of those with heart and circulatory diseases.
And this year there is an additional reason to celebrate as the charity marks its 60th anniversary.
A “Heart Hero” can be anyone; from a nurse or doctor working in the field of heart disease who has helped a family, to a young person with heart disease who has shown incredible courage and determination, or a fantastic fundraiser.
All nominees will be invited to a star-studded online awards ceremony premiering live on Youtube on World Heart Day on September 29, when the winners will be announced.
For more information about the criteria, and to nominate your candidate, visit www.bhf.org.uk/ heartheroes
Healthcare provider Medicspot has launched an e competition to promote mask-wearing, challenging primary school pupils across Airdrie and Coatbridge to put their creative skills to the test and design their own face mask.
The Medicspot Face Mask Challenge is open to all children aged five-to-14 at primary and secondary schools in both towns.
Monklands kids are encouraged to complete the challenge while at home by printing out the face mask template from the Medicspot website and letting their creativity flow.
The winning entry, judged by CBBC presenter and Youtube star Joe Tasker, will win £500 for their primary school to spend on supplies as well as 30 face masks featuring their spectacular design to share with their classmates.
Youngsters have until the end of May to get their entries in; download the mask template and enter at https:// www.medicspot.co.uk/mask
