Norma, Mrs. Drew
Jane, Mrs. Green For charitable services in West Sussex
64 yrs old (HAYWARDS HEATH, WEST SUSSEX)
She has been a valued member of the British Heart Foundation (BHF), particularly the Mid-Sussex branch, since it was founded 26 years ago. She lost her son to heart disease 21 years ago but rather than become dejected with life, she resolved to help other people within her community especially those with heart disease, disabled and the elderly people through her kindness, being supportive and fundraising. She became the Chair of the BHF Mid-Sussex branch in 1985, leading with enthusiasm, dedication and inspiration. She raised the profile of the branch to one of the best performing branches in the South East. She has initiated a variety of fundraising activities including a sponsored horse ride, which now attracts about 200 horses, raising £10,000 a year and a sponsored charity walk, which has grown over the last 16 years to over 300 entrants, raising £18,000. The branch recently presented medical equipment to the cardiac unit of the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton. Through her dedication and leadership, the branch has raised a total of £500,000 since it was established. She has also been a volunteer on the committee of the West Sussex Association for the Disabled for the past 11 years. She regularly visits elderly and disabled people in their homes and organises outings.

Mr. Martin Anderson For services to the Motor Neurone Disease Association
60 yrs old (KEYWORTH, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE)
He joined forces with a handful of volunteers in Nottingham in 1979 from which the Motor Neurone Disease Association emerged. Back then few people had heard of Motor Neurone Disease (MND), and even fewer knew anything about it. Thanks to him and his fellow pioneers, the MND Association took its first few steps to becoming the multi-million pound national support and research charity it is today. As a founder member, his commitment to the association has been steadfast since those early days. As well as remaining deeply involved with the Nottinghamshire Branch, he served as a trustee for almost 20 years. As a trustee, he brought a strong interest in patient care, along with experience in finance and general management. He also fundraised for the association, including running the London Marathon in 1985, and was a scrupulous guardian of its hard earned income and investments. There is no doubt that his selfless sacrifice, devotion and dedication has played a big part in the association's huge expansion over the past 27 years in serving sufferers' need, financing meaningful medical research and raising public awareness.

Mr. George Baker
Mr. Charles Barnes
Mr. Graham Bow

Mr. John Carpenter For services to Disabled People in Cornwall
87 yrs old (FALMOUTH, CORNWALL)
He has been an active member of Remap since 1983 and was one of a small group of men who successfully re-launched the charity in 1989. The unique work of this charity brings together the skills of professional engineers and craftsmen to custom design and make equipment for disabled persons, free of charge, which are not available commercially or through the health services. When he retired as a trustee, after 13 years, in recognition of his long service he was made Vice-President. He continues to be an enthusiastic and committed member and supporter through his work with the local Panel in Cornwall. Like other members of the Panels he designs and makes the one-off aids which Remap exists to provide, to assist clients for whom there is no suitable device available commercially. Over and above this, he gives presentations about Remap and its work to local organisations, and thus helps raise people's awareness and to come forward as clients or as volunteer Panel members. His background in mechanical and electrical engineering has been invaluable and at the age of 87 he is still giving his services as a professional engineer and spreading the word about Remap and its functions for the local community.

Mr. Ronald Murrell For services to Disadvantaged People in Merseyside
64 yrs old (LIVERPOOL, MERSEYSIDE)
He has a 24 year long career in the mental health and drugs field, and is held in high regard by clients, fellow health and social care professionals, and wider partner agencies across Merseyside. He has come to prominence through the Drugs Intervention Programme and stands out amongst peers in his field nationally as having made extraordinary contributions to health and well-being. He worked as a staff nurse, a community psychiatric nurse and a clinical nurse manger before managing the Kevin White Unit, an in-patient residential detoxification unit on Merseyside. As co-ordination manager for the Merseyside Arrest Referral Scheme, he developed highly essential and productive working relationships with a variety of key partner agencies - the police, NHS, probation service, local authority, voluntary organisations and service providers. As Drug Interventions Programme Manager in Sefton, he oversaw the highly successful development of the programme locally in Merseyside and has acted and continues to act as an excellent ambassador at a national level. His dedication to improving the lives of those affected by substance misuse is outstanding and abundantly evident, as is his personal commitment to the involvement of users and carers in the planning, commissioning and evaluation of services to some of the most hard to reach groups in our communities.
