The Digital Hero campaign has found it’s Hero. Gill Farrington from Derbyshire has been arranging for local school children to help older people with the Internet for the last five years. She was awarded a £10,000 prize.

Twelve regional winners were chosen by a public poll and the overall winner was then decided by a judging panel.

More information about all the winners can be found on the Digital Heroes website along with a video.

The awards were held in conjunction with Citizens Online a charity that works to promote digital inclusion.

This is a really great thing, teaching elderly people how to use computers. That is a pretty big reward though. I wish I would have known about this.. ;]
