A Co Fermanagh man who picked up an MBE in the New Year’s Honours has said he accepted the award on behalf of carers who look after those in the local community.
Pat McGurn, the chief executive of Lakeland Community Care, has been involved with the not-for-profit organisation for the last 18 years.
LCC provides domiciliary care and day care to rural parts of Fermanagh and Tyrone, and in 2015 opened a £1.7million healthy living centre in Belcoo which provides services to the local community.
