life SOCIETY Isle of Wight Radio's Local Heroes! IOW Radio held the first annual People's People awards at Cowes Yacht Haven, honouring some of the island's dedicated, caring and brave individuals, those people who don't think twice about going out of their way for others, as well as others who have demonstrated amazing acts of bravery and compassion. IOW Radio teamed up with Mountjoy to ask the listeners to nominate their 'hero' and give them the recognition they deserve. There were 10 awards in all with the overall 'People's Person' going to a truly remarkable young man who deservedly received a standing ovation - Asa Singleton.
