Queen's Birthday Honours

Edward Woods

Congratulations to Jacquie and Caesar, who have been awarded the order of the British Empire(BEM) for services to the community in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham during Covid 19 in the Queen's Birthday honours list.

Well deserved not only for Covid 19 but Grenfell 2017 and all the work they have done at Edward Woods Community Centre over the years. In typical Jacquie and Caesar fashion they accepted this award on behalf of all the team - staff and volunteers at Edward Woods.

An amazing double act with over 70 years service between them they have kept Edward Woods Community Centre afloat in good and difficult times. Edward Woods is our pivotal centre in our emergency food distribution service. A bedrock in the community. A source of inspiration, hope, dedication, professionalism, creativity and service to the residents of Edward Woods and beyond.

The Centre is held in high regard by all who visit the premises - a community asset valued and cherished thanks to the tireless work of Jacquie and Caesar.

On behalf of everyone at UPG, Kamini our Chair, the Board of Trustees, Staff and Volunteers we salute you for this outstanding achievement.

How do I help my community?

Covid-19 Mutual Aid UK

In response to the government’s call out for volunteers-

Click here for more infomation.

Remember that there are people in our communities who might want to participate in mutual aid without providing the sort of identification documents that are necessary to engage with the government’s scheme, particularly during a time of uncertainty regarding the extent of policing we are likely to see in our communities.

There are also situations where people seeking help may not feel comfortable or safe accessing government support, but would feel happy receiving support from ordinary people in their communities.

We encourage local groups to keep organising independently from government structures, continuing to follow rigorous hygiene and safeguarding practice and to communicate between each-other to learn and develop community solidarity structures during a time of very uneven support from official bodies.

To find your local mutual aid group, go here
