2023 - January, Our news
Wellingborough councillor and involved resident at PA Housing, Tony Aslam has been recognised with a British Empire Medal for services to the community during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tony was out on the frontlines during the worst of the pandemic, assisting the community and making sure nobody was left to struggle.
“It’s absolutely wonderful and an honour to receive this prestigious award.”
After four decades of volunteering, he was able to supply guidance and support to vulnerable people who needed food and medicines. He was a link between local authorities and people who were unable to leave their homes, promoting safety and social distancing guidelines.
As well as being involved in numerous groups here at PA, which aim to improve things for all residents, he is also involved in several wider community projects to help people with their mental wellbeing. Alongside volunteers and professionals, he successfully assisted people in their recovery from mental and emotional distress and family or relationship breakdowns.
