The Pat Ryan Award: Honouring Dedication Beyond the Job
🏆 The Pat Ryan Award: Honouring Dedication Beyond the Job
This year’s Pat Ryan Award was presented to Kath O’Callaghan—a unique and truly deserving recipient. While Kath is a paid member of staff, the award recognises her exceptional voluntary commitment to several key initiatives that go far beyond her formal role.
Over the past 12 months, Kath has voluntarily managed and helped develop:
- Our social media presence
- The food redistribution programme
- Our clothing and furniture recycling scheme
Her tireless efforts have made a significant impact, helping reduce waste and improve the lives of people across Sandwell. Kath’s dedication is a testament to her passion for community service and her belief in creating a more sustainable, supportive environment for all.
💙 Congratulations, Kath—your work truly embodies the spirit of the Pat Ryan Award.
