Ashford Applause – Fifth champion announced!

Ashford Applause has reached the half way mark, and we are delighted to have showcased five fabulous Ashford Community Champions.

Ashford Applause is Ashford Borough Council and Loveashford’s campaign which shows our community champions how valued they are by shining a spotlight on special people who make a positive difference to our lives when we need it most.

We are pleased to announce our fifth Ashford Applause champion as Stuart Weller.

Stuart is a local magician and entertainer who has been creating his own weekly YouTube videos to keep families entertained during the lockdown. The videos feature magic tricks, craft ideas and fun activities for children to try at home. In addition, he recently performed a virtual magic show and raised over £200 for Child Aid to Eastern Europe (ChildAid). Plus, he has been busy home schooling his children, while his wife Julie has been at work.

There is still plenty of time left to nominate your local community champion for an Ashford Applause to give them the recognition they deserve.

The nominations are open to all individuals, whether it be a dedicated key worker on the frontline, a selfless volunteer delivering food parcels or an outstanding neighbour collecting shopping, prescriptions or cooking meals for others in their area.
