The Cat 107.9 FM

Reporter Jonathan White

Local community radio station The Cat 107.9 FM has launched a new ‘Community Hero Award’.

The award is given to an individual who made extra special efforts, going above and beyond during the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

Each Community Hero Award winner will receive a certificate, along with a special The Cat 107.9 FM cake expertly made by Gill Clark from ‘Baked by Gill’ https://www.facebook.com/homebakedbygill/

The first recipient of a Community Hero Award was James Yates. During a local incident James protected a female police officer who was being attacked by a male suspected of being under the influence. James risked his life and subjected himself to potential infection to successfully stop the attack.

Chris Cadman, Managing Director, The Cat community radio said: “The Cat 107.9 FM continues to find ways to help and inform the community during the Coronavirus crisis. The Community Hero Award recognises people who are going the extra mile to help the NHS and whose efforts help lift people’s spirits. It is fantastic and heart-warming to recognise local people and their efforts and to say a big thank you.”
