Following its nationwide Calling All Heroes search Chloe Davis from Wrexham has been named North Wales’ local hero for her contribution to the local community by Odeon.

Odeon launched the search to fine ‘to uncover the real-life superheroes who go the extra mile, wake up to put a smile on the face of others’ to coincide with its ‘Calling All Heroes’ season of superhero blockbusters – from Solo: A Star Wars Story to the upcoming Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Chloe, an 18-year-old student and Welsh Air Ambulance volunteer from Wrexham, has been named North Wales’ local hero for her avid fundraising and support to those within her local community. Chloe was nominated by her mother, Helen Pemberton, who applauded her ability to always put others first.

To celebrate her heroic status, Odeon Wrexham put on a private screening of the superhero epic Avengers: Infinity War for Chloe and her family to enjoy. She was also rewarded with an unlimited Odeon membership for a year.

Gareth Williams, Deputy Manager of Odeon Wrexham said: “We’re used to seeing superheroes grace our screens at ODEON Wrexham, but it was a real pleasure to welcome local hero Chloe through our doors to celebrate her super-heroic work in the local community.

“Heroes come in so many shapes and sizes and from all walks of life, which was clear from all of the incredible and inspiring entries we received as part of this search.”

Chloe said: “To be nominated was so unexpected, but such a wonderful surprise! It’s an honour to be named a hero, but the real heroes are the ones I raise money for, who battle the odds to overcome challenges every day.

“We had such an amazing time at the screening – my family and I are big fans of Marvel, so it was awesome to have the screen at Odeon all to ourselves!”.
