We are delighted that Jade Fardon, Assistant County Commissioner for Young Members and Brownie Leader was announced as the winner for her category. It was noted that: “With her can do attitude, she overcame a personal adversity and never let that hold her back from her role to give the 9th Headstone Brownie Unit innovative and exciting opportunities and experiences.”
“I was very surprised and completely honoured to be invited to Harrow’s Heroes. It was humbling to be surrounded by so many amazing people. I was really proud to be able to represent local Guiding along with 3 others nominated for their commitment to Guiding. I now treasure the Contribution to the Communities award and consider it received on behalf of all of you heroes in Girlguiding Middlesex North West.” Jade Fardon
We were also pleased to see another Middlesex North West County volunteer, Alison Chester, recognised as a member of the Harrow Recreation Grounds Users Association who won two awards at the evening.
Huge congratulations to both Jade and Alison as well as all of our finalists!
