COMMUNITY heroes were handed awards by a rotary club to recognise their work helping others.
Among the winners of a Chislehurst Rotary Club Community Service Award was playgroup leader Larry Simpson.
Ms Simpson runs the Petts Wood Playgroup in Willett Way for children with special needs, supported by more than 40 local volunteers.
Other winners included priest Father Bill Beer and volunteer Brenda Barham.
Post office owner Kanti Shah, Big Draw event organiser Donna Bompas, Rotary firework display organiser David Pearse and local estate agent Jonathon de Maid were also presented awards by the rotary club’s president Janet Boylan.
She said: “Without the support of local people, Chislehurst Rotary Club would not be able to help needy groups in the community. The support of the public is very much appreciated.”
