The Mayor of Aylesbury has awarded three residents with an award of appreciation after going above and beyond and supporting the Aylesbury community during the pandemic.
Marie Biswell and Vicki Parker and our very own Dan Blaze have each been awarded with a certificate of appreciation to honour their dedicated and compassionate work.
Bucks radio presenter Dan, who has been bringing fun and tunes to care homes and others in isolated situations across the Aylesbury area, says all the hard work is worth it.
"From my perspective, I always find music cheers me up when im down. To be honest its sometimes hard putting on the smiley, happy presenter face and voice when we are in tough times like these, but if it helps raise other peoples spirits, that's what we're here for!"
The Town Mayor, Cllr Mike Smith shared his gratitude for Dan
“I thank Dan for giving his time and commitment to carry out such an important line of communication to those who may not be able to socialise with their own friends and family.”
Another winner of the award, Marie is a sign interpreter and has signed at many Town Council events. She even supported Glastonbury before lockdown began. Over the last year, Marie has entertained so many by signing much-loved stories, songs and has even had time to fundraise for local charities.
Cllr Mike Smith said
"Marie is an inspiration, especially to those within our deaf community."
And the final winner of a community Award is Vicki, who has been working at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium delivering the vaccination programme.
Vicki coordinates all the vaccinators, pharmacists, and most importantly the teams that contact the patients to invite them to their appointments. She ensures that as many vaccines are administered as possible and that not a single dose of the vaccine is wasted. She does this on top of her ‘day jobs’ of strategic management of three practices.
With Cllr Mike Smith saying
"Her dedication to ensuring that as many people receive their vaccine as soon as possible is outstanding.”
