The London North Centre Honour Roll is an initiative launched by MP Fragiskatos back in March 2017 with the objective to identify individuals whose actions inspire us all to build a stronger, more supportive and inclusive community. For the third consecutive year the response from Londoners to the call for nominations was overwhelming. The volunteer selection committee completed a comprehensive review of all nominations received in the spring.
Quotes
“Over the past three years it has been my distinct privilege to honour nearly 50 Londoners who have gone above and beyond in our community. The generosity and kindness of Londoners often goes unnoticed and underappreciated; therefore, the aim of this honour roll is to continue ensuring those working tirelessly to improve the lives of others are recognized. I would like to personally thank each award winner for putting the interests of fellow citizens first and striving to make London North Centre a better place to live.”
