The High Sheriff of East Sussex, Jane King, visited the Starr Trust office in Hove last month to present an award in recognition of ‘great and valuable services to the community’.
Jane King has just completed a busy year of service in office, during which time she supported the work of the Starr Trust having kindly given her time to attend events and by advocating the charity within the community.
The Starr Trust team were delighted to welcome her, as The High Sheriff, to its office and surprised her with High Tea to mark the occasion.
During the visit, the award was made. In presenting the award, Jane King said: “It is in recognition of great and valuable services to the community, and that is undoubtedly what The Starr Trust does for the people that they support, enhancing their lives in many various ways.”
Michael Jacobs, Trustee of the Starr Trust, said: “That’s just wonderful. What a fantastic gesture. Thank you, Jane, for your kind support and we hope you will keep in touch with the Trust after taking a well-deserved holiday.”
Further wording on the award presented reads: “The Award also recognises the appreciation of the residents and people of the said High Sheriff’s County for activity and contribution in enhancing the life of the community.”
The award now has pride of place and is on display in the Starr Trust office.
Sussex based charity, the Starr Trust removes roadblocks for young people by supporting individuals and groups with financial grants, sharing connections and encouraging success. Awards are granted to young people aged 10 to 25 years to help them succeed and thrive in whatever they put their minds to.
