UNSUNG Christian heroes from across the UK were recognised for their community work at the Houses of Parliament on 15 November as the 2011 Inspire Award winners were announced. The winners were chosen from more than 120 nominations submitted for this year’s awards ceremony, organised by Inspire and the Evangelical Alliance, and celebrated at a special ceremony hosted by Christian MPs.
God’s at work across the UK and around the world, and just a few of the ordinary people being used to do extraordinary things told their stories at Westminster recently at the 2011 Inspire Awards …
This year’s winners were chosen from
three categories: an individual who is an inspirational role model, a church that is making a dynamic impact in its community, and a Christian-run project serving its local area. Inspire magazine’s editor Russ
Bravo said of the 2011 awards: “It’s been a privilege to find out about the way ordinary people are putting their faith in action in extraordinary ways. We’re committed to telling these kinds of inspirational stories of Christians making life better for local communities, and the Inspire Awards is a great showcase for that.” Paul Slide, chief executive of Inspire’s publisher CPO, said: “Hearing the practical difference Christians are making at grassroots level is a huge encouragement, and genuinely inspirational. These award winners are just the tip of the iceberg – we’re looking forward to seeing a whole lot more local heroes in the future.” Steve Clifford, general director of
the Evangelical Alliance, added: “It was truly humbling and inspiring to meet all the individuals, and representatives of churches and organisations doing amazing work in their local

communities, to hear their stories and to celebrate with them. “As Christians, we are passionate about community transformation. These fantastic, innovative projects being run up and down the UK are feeding the hungry, housing the homeless and restoring the broken. They are just some examples of how Christians are doing great things.”
