I'm thrilled to be awarded an OBE by His Majesty. It reflects the hard work and dedication of the colleagues that I've been lucky to work with over 40 years in the disability sector. This award is a testament to their commitment to improving the lives of disabled people.

Cornwall is home to more solar farms than anywhere else in the UK. The government’s current clean energy targets can be met without sacrificing food security or historic rural landscapes. The Cornish landscape matters-to our history, our health, our community and our future.
