The Department for Transport is seeking positive stories about how individuals or businesses have supported their local community in recovering from the recent riots and protests across the country.
They are particularly interested in stories of people who have helped clean up after the disturbances, gone above and beyond, or come together to rebuild and protect buildings.
Retailers are invited to share their stories, either by speaking on camera or by providing quotes along with images.
If you would like to put forward a case study, please contact Bira at media@bira.co.uk
