High Sheriff’s Awards 2021
Imam Monawar Hussain MBE DL held his High Sheriff’s Awards on Thursday 4 November at County Hall.
When Monawar took office in April 2021, he announced that his year “would be spent celebrating and recognising acts of altruistic kindness and generosity, by individuals, voluntary groups, and businesses, from all walks of life, from across Oxfordshire during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
His High Sheriff’s Awards were presented to those who Monawar felt had kept “the wheels of our county in motion in the most difficult of circumstances”, going above and beyond to selflessly serve their local communities during one of the most challenging times in modern history, and in doing so who “contributed to a stronger sense of community in our county.”
The Lord-Lieutenant attended the Awards, alongside the Chair of Oxfordshire County Council.
