A leading campaigner for victims of historical institutional abuse has dedicated her MBE to her late brother.
Margaret McGuckin, who was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the King’s Birthday Honours, was herself a victim of abuse, alongside her brother Kevin, who passed away in June of this year.
Ms McGuckin is the leader of Savia (Survivors and Victims of Institutional Abuse), a group that offers support to and campaigns on behalf of people who suffered physical, sexual, mental and emotional abuses in institutions across Northern Ireland.
