A COURIER and his wife in Tidworth have been recognised for going the extra mile to support those in their community.

40-year-old Bogdan Bacinschi and his wife Louise were awarded the Neighbour of the Year title at the 2025 Tidworth Community Awards in February for the help they provide residents.

The father of two is a familiar face to Tidworth residents as he is often spotted out and about delivering packages for Evri having worked at the company since 2019.

The pair have been described by locals as the town’s community neighbours, as they routinely go above and beyond to help others.

This includes helping a pregnant mother with her bags and helping move furniture for neighbours at the drop of a hat.

Louise has been described as the “backbone” of their family and routinely responds to queries about people’s deliveries as well as being active in many local groups.

“We were so honoured to receive the award, made even more special by the fact it’s nominated by the local community,” Bogdan said.

“Having lived in Tidwell for the past decade, we appreciate how important community is, and just a small act of kindness can really go a long way.”

“We are there for our neighbours, just as they are there for us.”

It’s this generosity displayed by Bogdan and Louise that highlights the important role they play within the town, with the pair having previously been acknowledged with an award a few years ago for their dedication shown to the town and its community during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bogdan and Louise’s anonymous nomination for their award reads: “Bogdan and Louise are not my neighbours personally, but I think they fall perfectly under the neighbour category as they are Tidworth’s Community Neighbours.

“I and the rest of Tidworth see Bogdan out working every day; not only do he and Louise work multiple jobs while raising their family, but they also look out for and help anyone who needs it in a neighbourly fashion.

“I have read about how Bogdan saw a pregnant mum struggling with her shopping, and he would stop and help her get it into her house safely.

“He has heard that people have needed help to get second-hand furniture from one local house to another, and without hesitation, he will step in to help.

“Louise is the backbone of the family; while Bogdan is out working, he is singing Louise’s praises to all who chat to him about how she raises the kids and helps out with deliveries.

“She is often active online answering people’s questions and going above and beyond for the community.

“They are Tidworth’s neighbours, and I personally feel that Tidworth would be lost without them.”
