A member and social coordinator for Huddersfield District Oddfellows, Faye helps to arrange and run events for the local friendship group’s younger members.

Speaking about her award win, Faye says: “I was so surprised when I found out I’d won the award! Making sure there’s a wide range of events for our younger members to get involved with is hugely important. My favourite moment, is the magic of seeing the children’s faces light up at the annual Christmas party when Santa walks in!”
