City of Culture heroes: Gary Bratt
City of Culture have announced their 21 Coventry heroes, we meet Gary Bratt.
Gary proved to be an inspiration for the local community by knocking on doors and offering to do shopping and fetch prescriptions. He also ran ‘street’ events where people would put chairs at the front of the houses and Garry would organise bingo, quizzes and games to keep spirits up.
Twenty-one of Coventry’s real-life, everyday heroes are being celebrated and recognised for their acts of kindness after a citywide search produced an incredible response. More than 100 people were nominated by friends, family or neighbours for the #OurCovHeroes campaign, launched in the summer by Coventry City of Culture Trust. The final 21 were then selected by a panel of young people from Coventry Youth Activist Group and the Belgrade Theatre.
