With National Superheroes Day this week, we asked you to nominate your real-life superheroes.

Every year on April 28, we don’t just celebrate fictional heroes, but those heroes who don't wear capes.

We’re celebrating the people who keep Swindon going.

Charlene Walker nominated Jennie and Jason Moss. “They give selflessly and have done so anonymously for a number of years and so have had little to no recognition for the random acts of kindness they have strived to give others," she said.

“They have been through so many challenges in life and yet nothing stops them doing what they do. They are just the most genuine kindest souls I’ve ever met.”

Stephanie Law nominated her partner Lauren Setchell. She said: “Lauren is a paramedic for the South Western Ambulance Service Trust.

“She has been working non-stop since the pandemic, the same as the rest of her fantastic colleagues.

“Lauren has a giant heart and will support everyone if she could. That’s why she loves her job!”

Sophie-Anne Curtis nominated Robert Weyman. “He came into my life as my mum’s new partner and was there for me and my son. I call him my dad.

“But most of all in October he was diagnosed with cancer. He’s been through so much chemo and next week he starts radiotherapy in Oxford.

She added: “I want to say a massive thank you for everything he does for me. We love you so much, keep fighting.

“But also a massive shout out to Great Western Hospital staff for all their love, help and support they gave as our family struggled to come to terms with my dad’s illness.”

Lyndsey Brown nominated her dad Shaun Iles. “He came out of such a tragic accident at the end of 2020 and has been such a massive part of my little family’s life through the good and the bad, including when I had cancer.”

Catrina Fletcher nominated mental health campaigner Samuel Robbins. She told the Adver: “Samuel has made a measurable impact over the past year as a passionate advocate for all those affected by mental health and the lockdowns.

“He created and has been running the Swindon and Wiltshire Mental Health Support Group for more than a year.

“It is a safe and supportive bubble for people to open up and talk about their mental health and how Covid has affected them.

“He receives regular messages from people who are suffering to the point of suicidal thoughts and has supported them. I believe Samuel has saved many lives during this time.”
