Wanstead resident<br />
Frank Charles<br />
received the British<br />
Empire Medal at<br />
Westminster Abbey on<br />
27 September. He was<br />
presented with the<br />

behalf of the Queen<br />

‘hands-on’ charity work<br />
during the pandemic.<br />
“I’m very honoured<br />
and humbled to accept the BEM award. Thank<br />
you to the Wanstead community for their<br />
amazing support throughout COVID-19. For<br />
this enabled me to do my charity work in the<br />
community supporting families and people<br />
in need,” said Frank, whose Give A Gift Appeal<br />

Fundraiser<br />
for Tyler<br />
Meals delivered<br />
to Whipps Cross<br />
Hospital<br />
Funds are being<br />
raised to support<br />
Tyler, a young man<br />
who has had a<br />
regular presence on<br />
the High Street. “Tyler<br />
isn’t homeless, but<br />
his father recently<br />
died, and he is now<br />
locked out of the<br />
social security system<br />
due to a lack of ID<br />
and money to pay for<br />
a death certificate…<br />
This lost and lonely<br />
young man needs<br />
some start-up funds<br />
so he can stop sitting<br />
on the street,” said<br />
Ness Cole, who<br />
launched an appeal<br />
last month. Visit<br />
