NFRN national president Stuart Reddish said: “These have been incredibly hard times for independent retailers, but members have disregarded the risk to their health and safety to provide their communities with a vital lifeline.
“The extra lengths independent retailers are going to – not just to stay open, but to keep their customers fed and safe – are truly inspirational. They must not be the forgotten heroes of the Covid-19 outbreak. We’ll make sure they get the recognition they deserve.”
Retailers can enter or be nominated by members of their community by completing the form on nfrnonline.com
