The Extra Mile

Celebrating everyday heroes across our local community and the positive impact they make.

This winter we’re asking you to nominate someone you know who has gone the extra mile this year, this could be charity work, volunteering, or caring for a family member. And if they’ve travelled by bus to do it – even better.

If you know someone who deserves recognition, nominate them and help us shine a light on the people who make our communities stronger.

Know someone who’s gone the extra mile this year?
We’re looking for the everyday heroes who make a real difference. It could be someone who has:

• Supported neighbours or their community

• Taken on caring responsibilities for a friend or family member
• Raised funds or awareness for a cause close to their heart
• Launched or contributed to a local project
• Made life easier for someone through help, transport or errands
• Spread kindness in small ways throughout the year

We’re especially keen to hear stories where bus travel has helped people stay connected, contribute to their community or support others.

Nominations will open to individuals who live, work or regularly travel within the Stagecoach South West operating area.

Nominations will be open for 28 days from mid-November and a winner will be selected and presented with a travel package and festive gift-hamper, Christmas voucher.
