Supermarket chain with Batley store launches community awards

The Abu Bakr Supermarket Community Awards will honour everyday heroes from across Yorkshire, including students, teachers, parents, volunteers, carers, neighbours, and community champions whose kindness, dedication and selfless acts have had a meaningful impact on the lives of others.

Each selected recipient will be recognised as an Abu Bakr Community Hero and will receive a commemorative trophy along with a specially prepared Abu Bakr Supermarket hamper as a token of appreciation.

The initiative reflects Abu Bakr Supermarket’s commitment to supporting the communities it serves, and people will be invited to nominate individuals who inspire others through their actions, whether that’s supporting local charities, mentoring young people, helping neighbours, excelling in education, or making their neighbourhood a better place to live.

Hamza Hussain, managing director of Abu Bakr Supermarket, said: “At Abu Bakr Supermarket, we believe that the true strength of our communities lies in the people who quietly make a difference every single day.

“The Abu Bakr Community Awards are about shining a spotlight on those unsung heroes who give their time, support others and inspire positive change without expecting anything in return.

“Whether it’s a student who has overcome adversity, a teacher who has changed lives, a parent who goes the extra mile, or a volunteer serving the community, we want them to know that their efforts matter and are appreciated.

“We hope these awards inspire even more people to look after one another and strengthen the communities we are proud to serve.”

Details on how to submit nominations, will be announced in the coming weeks through Abu Bakr Supermarket’s social media channels and in-store.

The Batley supermarket is based at Blakeridge Mill Shopping.
