"I have the most amazing team at Harrogate Neighbours who are dedicated and hardworking. I am just so grateful for the work they put in as well as their dedication and commitment because we do it together.”

The accolade recognised Cawthray’s contribution in Harrogate Neighbours achieving the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Services. She has also spoken out on the government’s obligation to the care sector, especially during Covid-19.
