City of Culture heroes: Loraine Masiya Mponela
City of Culture have announced their 21 Coventry heroes, we meet Loraine.
Loraine is an asylum seeker who, despite being worried about her own situation, has helped others who are looking for funds, organised housing for the homeless and food for the hungry. She organises meetings, petitions and writes articles on the situation.
Twenty-one of Coventry鈥檚 real-life, everyday heroes are being celebrated and recognised for their acts of kindness after a citywide search produced an incredible response. More than 100 people were nominated by friends, family or neighbours for the #OurCovHeroes campaign, launched in the summer by Coventry City of Culture Trust. The final 21 were then selected by a panel of young people from Coventry Youth Activist Group and the Belgrade Theatre.
