It launched the search by surprising 19-year-old Sebbie Hall from Lichfield with the first ever Tesco Jubilee Card, delivered by a specially appointed delivery corgi, Iggy Pup, to thank him for his royally good deeds for his local community.
During lockdown, Sebbie, a Pride of Britain nominee who has learning and physical difficulties, set out to raise £1,000 by carrying out a hundred acts of kindness to strangers. Two years later, Sebbie’s work is ongoing, and he has now raised over £40,000 for charities that support young people with disabilities and those with learning needs.1 of 5 -

Ashley Hall, Sebbie’s mother, said: “Sebbie started his acts of kindness because he wanted to make other people smile in lockdown, so it’s lovely for the roles to be reversed and to see him being celebrated. He’s actually just sent one of the teddy bears he’s made to the Queen to celebrate her jubilee, so we thought it was her corgi coming to thank us! Huge thank you for making his day – he’s absolutely thrilled. He always puts others first, so we’re encouraging him to treat himself with this very special card.”4 of 5 -
