A HOMES in Sedgemoor tenant from Burnham has received a special award.

Colin Clark was presented with his Hugh Mackay Community Award from Mr Mackay, a former chairman of the Homes in Sedgemoor Board, at the annual Residents’ Day in Bridgwater.

Hugh Mackay said: “I created this award in 2008 to help highlight and reward some excellent examples of community spirit across the areas that Homes in Sedgemoor works in.”

“It was good to have two nominees this year, and it was a pleasure to present the award to Colin Clark, who is always willing to put himself out to assist all his elderly neighbours in Chichester Close and does things for them on a regular basis, showing care and commitment.”

Nominated by Pauline Smith, Colin is a valued member of his community and is always willing to go the extra mile to help.

Dawn Lang, Chief Executive of Homes in Sedgemoor, said: “Congratulations to Colin, who does a fantastic job helping out others in his community. He has clearly made a difference to lots of people’s lives and we are very happy to celebrate his care, involvement and dedication.”
