NHS workers, a church minister and those who have dedicated their lives to charitable community work are among those recognised across Nottinghamshire this year in the New Year's Honours list for 2023.
Clive Daniel Foster, senior minister of the Pilgrim Church, The Meadows, and Patricia Jean Cargill, chair of the Patient Partnership Group, a Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH) group, are among those have been recognised, for services to the Windrush generation and NHS patients respectively.
Ms Cargill, who gets a British Empire Medal, or BEM, has been a "driving force" at NUH, working passionately to improve health care for patients. She said: "It's a voluntary position but I became involved through the NHS. I had a son with severe complex needs, he had various disabilities and he has now passed - he was a star.
