NEWS Shopper and Greenwich Shopping Park, in Bugsby's Way, are still searching for the unsung heroes of Greenwich borough.

The deadline to find the Greenwich local hero of the year has been extended from July 14 to August 16.

The campaign, launched in May, aims to find people who deserve recognition for the work they do in the community.

The winner will be rewarded with a prize relevant to the work they carry out, to the value of £250.

To nominate your hero send no more than 400 words explaining about the contribution they make to the community, and send it to Greenwich Local Hero of the Year 2008, Matthew Jenkin, Mega House, Crest View Drive, Petts Wood, BR5 1BT or email mjenkin@london.newsquest.co.uk.
