Brian Jackson (BEM) one of the longstanding members of Leicester Search and Rescue, has been recognised in the New Years honours for his services to the community of Leicestershire.
Brian has been a member of Leicestershire Search & Rescue for almost a decade and turns out to call outs day and night, any time.of the year and has the highest attendance rate than any other member.
In addition to this he has worked with the Duke of Edinburgh award for over 30 years, supporting and empowering hundreds of younger people to gain and develope valuable life skills.
During the COVID pandemic, in spite of his own wellbeing, he volunteered at the Leicester General Hospital vaccine hub from day one, marshalling thousands of people through the vaccine process, day after day, sometimes in freezing weather.
He is still supporting the vaccine program across Leicestershire, training more recently as a vaccinator. He volunteers multiple days a week vaccinating some of the most vulnerable in our community.
I could think of no more a deserving individual to be the recipient of this amazing recognition, am I’m sure you will join me in congratulating him on his amazing award.
Thank you for all you do for our community Brian, many congratulations from the team.
