Having spare mask or phone charger are modern acts of heroism, says study

Forget damsels in distress and knights in shining armour - these days coming to the rescue with a spare phone charger is considered an act of heroism, according to a study.

A poll of 2,000 adults revealed the everyday acts which are now considered heroic, such as directing traffic after an accident or helping someone with a flat tyre.

In a tech-obsessed world, even the modest job of setting up a smartphone is considered gallant, as is fetching an item on the top shelf of a supermarket for someone who can't reach.

The study for children’s TV programme Fireman Sam, to launch their new Modern-Day Heroes Campaign, also found that 36 per cent have changed their views on what defines a hero due to the events of 2020.
