The couple managed to keep services

running for their six communities even when they they caught Covid, by calling in help from family and friends. Tina said: “I am just doing what I do naturally. It has been tough for the past two years, but my automatic reaction is to rally round. I want to help people. I care about the communities that I serve.” Also honoured were Hardip Atwal, who runs Atwal convenience store in Annan, Dumfries and Galloway. He was awarded the British Empire Medal for charitable services.
