In the New Year Honours 2023, Martin Andrew has been awarded the British Empire Medal for meritorious civil service worthy of recognition by the Crown. The citation says:
“Martin Robert Gervas Andrew. For services to the community in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, particularly during Covid-19”
"In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2021 it was requested that someone take the lead in establishing the pharmacy lead vaccination programme for the community in which Haddenham and District Rotary was located, and of Martin stepped up to the plate"
"Martin recruited and trained over 100 volunteers including other Haddenham and District Rotarians. Under Martin’s leadership the team of volunteers delivered up to 400 vaccinations per day. Martin successfully served his community at a crucial time and with his team of Haddenham volunteers gave over 2000 hours of their time towards vaccination efforts"
Earlier in 2022, Martin received the "Proud of Bucks Award for Best Adult Contribution", recognising Martin's significant achievement in his lead role as organiser of the Haddenham COVID Vaccination Programmer. He also received the "Rotary Champion of Change Award", which recognises Champions of Change and Community Champions
"Ordinary people doing extra ordinary things"
