Alan Coppin, caretaker at Hermitage Court in Snaresbrook, was honoured at the Redbridge Mayor’s Community Awards last month.

“In November 2025, Hermitage Court resident Tony Walsh collapsed in his kitchen due to a sudden heart attack. His partner froze, not sure what to do or who to turn to. She screamed for help and Alan responded. He rushed in, called 999 and was guided through his first CPR by the operator. Alan’s CPR saved Tony’s life. An angel, a hero, we are all so grateful,” said an event spokesperson.
