This year I share my birthday with Queen Elizabeth II (her official birthday, not her real one, which is in April) and though I have not received an award in her birthday honours list released today, I discover that Conductive Education has.
http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/newshome/Honour-for-founder-of-Rainbow.5363276.jp Founder of the Rainbow Centre, Helen Somerset-Howe has been awarded an MBE for 'her amazing work with the Rainbow Centre in Fareham', nominated by chairwoman of the centre's trustees.
A few years ago a lady involved with the PACES centre in Sheffield received a similar award, but I believe this is a first for a founder of a centre.
Congratulations, Helen.
