Recipient: Barchester Tandridge Heights Nursing and Care Home

Date: Tuesday 11 Aug 2020

We are proud to announce that Doreen Raymond, a volunteer from Oxted, Surrey is to be recognised with a British Citizen Award medal of honour (BCAc) in recognition of her extraordinary endeavours with regards to services in the community. Doreen was nominated for this award by the General Manager of Tandridge Heights Memorial Care Home, Victoria Oladosu. For 5 years Doreen has attended Tandridge Heights, every single day visiting the residents, sitting chatting with them, assisting with meals and helping them attend the weekly church services, which the residents know and love.
Doreen has found a way to ensure she lives a fulfilling life, but also ensures those she supports in the community have one too. The British Citizen Award was established in 2015 to recognize exceptional individuals who work tirelessly and selflessly making a positive impact on society. Each medal of Honour bears the words ‘for the good of the country’ and are presented to only a small number of exceptional individuals twice yearly. The British Citizen Award is widely viewed as the nation’s way of recognizing extraordinary, everyday people for exceptional endeavor and are truly representative of today’s multicultural Britain.
