WE ARE LOCAL HEROES.

.

PEOPLE + PLACE + PURPOSE = COMMUNITY

It all begins with a story.

At Local Heroes, we explore the passion, people and places, uncovering the untold stories, going behind the scenes and between the lines.

Through film, podcasts, documentaries, events and creative, cultural merchandise, we explore the people, places, and stories that shape our communities and our sense of belonging, with passion and purpose.

We Are Local Heroes - Celebrating People, Place, Purpose and Community

At We Are Local Heroes, we believe in the power of storytelling to connect, inspire, and shape the world around us. 

Through film, podcasts, documentaries, events, and products, we shine a light on the people, places, and stories that define our communities.

At the heart of this mission are three visionary directors, each bringing their own expertise, creativity, and passion to the table.

From Local Heroes to We Are Local Heroes

The roots of Local Heroes trace back to Food and Drink North East (FADNE), the region’s only ‘farm to plate’ trade organisation. Local Heroes was initially launched during the COVID -19 pandemic as an online store selling regional produce - connecting local makers with consumers in a time of crisis. While Dan, Chris and Rosie remain closely involved with FADNE, they made the decision to establish We Are Local Heroes as a separate entity. This shift allows them to pursue more creative, community-driven, and consumer-focused projects, unlocking their collective expertise in the written word, visual storytelling, event curation, and product merchandising.

More Than Just a Brand

- A Movement

At Local Heroes, we are more than just a creative platform - we are a movement dedicated to celebrating the people who make our local communities thrive. 

Through our work, we aim to foster a sense of belonging, amplify important voices, and bring people together with passion and purpose.

Join us as we continue to uncover the stories that matter. Because local stories aren’t just worth telling—they’re worth celebrating.
