More than 800,000 people are active volunteers in Lower Austria. The "Krone" now brought particularly courageous individuals, associations and communities in front of the curtain.

Emotional moments, goosebumps and even furtive tears: the "Krone" honored people of the heart for the fourth time on Friday evening with its partner "Freiwilligencenter NÖ" in the Landhaus St. Pölten. "There are more and more people of the heart with ever more beautiful and touching stories," explained patron and "Krone" publisher CR Dr. Christoph Dichand.

"We have been honoring people of the heart for four years. Volunteers who are there for others 24 hours a day, seven days a week - whenever and wherever they are needed," says "Krone-NÖ" manager Lukas Lusetzky, explaining the background to the campaign. Together with Johanna Mikl-Leitner, head of the province, Martin Lammerhuber (Kulturregion Niederösterreich) and singer Natalie Holzner, he then presented awards to the ten winners in the "Individuals" category.

Birgit Berger from the district of Gmünd, who looks after children with Rett syndrome, commented on the gala hosted by Jana Pasching: "It's very exciting, I can't believe I'm experiencing this." Lifesaver Kenan Cenanovic from St. Pölten commented on his feelings: "It feels great. I'm happy to be here today. The prize will of course take pride of place in my display case."

The club ranking, in which a record number of votes were recorded this year, went to Pfötchenhilfe Mistelbach. Herzensmensch jury member and animal expert Maggie Entenfellner congratulated: "We are proud of each and every one of them. A Herzensmensch helps without asking - even in animal welfare. Without them, this help would not exist."

The world-famous magic couple Thommy Ten and Amélie van Tass, both part of the Herzensmensch jury, summed it up at the end: "We've been involved since the beginning. And the topic is particularly important to us. When you do something good, so much comes back. There's nothing better than putting a smile on people's faces. It's nice to see and feel the charity, because that's anything but a given."
