00:00Hi, Natalie! Hello, who are you? I'm the Lion Queen!
00:11All these lovely people have been keeping this secret for such a long time.
00:15Of course it was Karen, your lovely mum, who nominated you all those months ago.
00:19Karen, what inspired you to nominate Natalie?
00:22Just for what Natalie is. I'm so proud of what she does and what she's achieved for both groups.
00:28I swear to God, you deserve the recognition for it, darling.
00:31You absolutely do, and we're joined by lots of people here.
00:34We've got Jonathan, you're the local MP. You've been a huge fan and campaigner of Natalie's work.
00:39Tell us about the impact she's making in Hartlepool.
00:41I think what Natalie does is absolutely incredible.
00:43I mean, the family she helped. I think about the children who are going to school today
00:47with a uniform on their back because of Natalie and what she does.
00:50It's incredible. She's the spirit of Hartlepool. I'm so proud of her today.
00:55We also have the ceremonial mayor of Hartlepool, Carol. Lovely to see you.
01:00This is such a positive story for Hartlepool, isn't it?
01:03It certainly is. I think Natalie really shows how kind people in Hartlepool are,
01:08how they're generous and look after each other.
