Simon Gossling 26:11
Simon, from Cheltenham, launched a nationwide school uniform recycling initiative to help parents cut the cost of buying school uniforms, recycle outgrown clothes and reduce large amounts of waste going to landfill. Uniformerly is a free online marketplace where parents, schools and Parents and Teachers Associations can buy, sell, give away and recycle outgrown uniforms direct to other parents. Members from more than 3,800 schools across the UK are now registered and Simon is also working alongside school uniform suppliers and local authorities to improve sustainability, social inclusion, and child poverty prevention.
Luke Grenfell-Shaw 27:47
In 2018, Luke was diagnosed with stage four cancer aged just 24. Fast forward to 2020 and he set off to cycle from Bristol to Beijing to show what you can achieve when living with cancer. Luke, from Bristol, completed the 30,000km, cycling through 29 countries, and raising more than £125,000 for charities including Young Lives vs Cancer. “What Luke has achieved is remarkable,” says one of the many who nominated him. “But the hope he has also given to others is indescribable. Along the way, Luke inspired so many people, and had more people living with cancer join him on his tandem bike – and all with a smile.”
