Local hero competition

Do you know someone in Erdington who deserves a £500 reward for having a positive impact on the community?

Ahead of opening its doors in May 2026, Elderflower Grange is launching a search for local residents, charities, groups or clubs making a lasting difference, giving people the opportunity to nominate their community heroes. 

If you know an individual or organisation that’s gone the extra mile to help others in the area, let us give them the recognition they deserve!

Our ‘local heroes’ competition can be entered by an individual or organisation of any size – it could be someone who gives up their free time to help one particular person, or a charity that reaches hundreds.  

You can nominate yourself or your club, or put forward a person or organisation that has helped you or someone close to you. All you have to do is fill in the below form before 11.59pm on 30th April and explain why they deserve to be rewarded.
