British Empire Medal Award

We are all so proud

It is with immense pride and profound admiration that we extend our warmest congratulations to our beloved Chairperson, Mandy Giddins, on being awarded the prestigious British Empire Medal (B.E.M). This honour stands not only as recognition for her remarkable efforts in voluntary and charitable services but also as a tribute to her resilience and unwavering dedication in the face of personal heartbreak.

Mandy has faced the depths of grief with courage and turned it into a powerful force for good. After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of her beloved son, Jordan (Giddo), Mandy channeled that grief into a source of strength to help others. In memory of Jordan (Giddo), She founded Giddos Gift, a charity dedicated to supporting young people battling cancer.

The British Empire Medal is a well-deserved recognition of Mandy’s compassionate spirit and tireless commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those who face the challenges of cancer. Her journey, from personal tragedy to a beacon of hope for others, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

Through Giddos Gift, Mandy has created a lasting legacy that honour’s Jordan’s memory by providing vital support and comfort to young people and their families navigating the difficult path of cancer. The impact of her efforts extends far beyond the confines of our organisation, touching the lives of many and bringing solace in times of hardship.

As we celebrate Mandy’s extraordinary achievement, let us also take a moment to acknowledge the profound strength and compassion that she exemplifies. Mandy serves as an inspiration to us all, demonstrating that even in the face of personal tragedy, one can rise with resilience and make a lasting difference in the lives of others.

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to Mandy on receiving the British Empire Medal. May this honour serve as a beacon of light, shining on the incredible work she has done and continues to do in memory of Jordan (Giddo) and for the benefit of all those touched by the challenges of cancer.

We are all so proud.
