Here are the winners.
Barneteye Person of the year
Rev Helen Shannon
Citation: “ She
and her volunteers have been providing help and support to residents on the
Strawberry Vale estate, through gas and water cuts, for some time now, as well
as helping to run Finchley Foodbank. However,
it was their actions on the night of the Willow House fire on the Grange
estate, and in the weeks afterwards, that make her the winner. The fire broke
out at midnight on 7 November. It took almost 4 hours, 15 fire engines and 100
firefighters to get it under control. Helen and her team opened the Green Man
Community Centre, to provide the people evacuated with a warm place to go, gave
them tea, food and comfort, set up space to sleep with air mattresses and sleeping
bags, and went out to Tesco to buy clothes, phone chargers, food and toiletries
for the 39 people who were made homeless that night. At
6am the last of the residents had been found a hotel bed and she was there
clearing up and planning for the next steps. In the days following she was the
first point of contact for those residents, often visiting them late at night
to bring emergency cash, supporting them in the Homeless Persons Unit and in
meetings with Barnet Council and Barnet Homes, and helping to cook and serve
two community lunches for the residents affected.
