We’re really proud of BEM recipients David Newall and Kathryn Beale, both who deliver projects in and across Sandwell.
This honour recognises people who go above and beyond to support their communities.
David is a key supporter of Brushstrokes Sandwell, a charity that helps refugees with housing advice, food, clothing and guidance.
Kathryn set up Just Straight Talk in 2012 to help young people to turn their lives around and meet their goals. She manages six projects across Sandwell and Dudley to ensure individuals get access to food, warmth and emergency accommodation as well as other essentials.
Well done to you both!
