Charitable SBHA Board Member awarded MBE

Dudley Savill, lay member of the Shepherds Bush Housing Association (SBHA) Complaint Review Panel, has been awarded an M.B.E. from the Queen's Birthday Honours list, for his charitable services in London.

Dudley, an Ealing resident, has been involved with SBHA for over 20 years and has been an avid supporter of service user participation. His work in Supported Housing includes time with St Mungo's Community Trust and Hestia Housing and Support as a Participation Officer. He also chairs Kiloran, a charity for carer's support and has served in the past on SBHA's Board.

Paul Doe, Chief Executive of SBHA, said: "Dudley has always supported SBHA tenants, ensuring they are involved as much as possible, whether as part of SBHA governance or dedicated to developing their local community. It is marvellous to have another past member of the SBHA Board awarded an M.B.E. and recognised for his continuous work in the charity field."

Dudley Savill said: "It is a pleasure to be awarded an M.B.E. I have thoroughly enjoyed working within this sector and my wife has been extremely supportive in my work over a number of years. Being part of the SBHA committee structure and able to facilitate change has been a delight. The encouragement SBHA has given to tenant involvement has been incredibly positive and a true recognition of the importance of tenants' rights and responsibilities."
