left to right Elizabeth Emanuel (fashion designer/bdmlr patron), Josie Sharrad (IFAW),Heather Dyer & Jamie Dyer (BDMLR seal hospital Managers) and The Baroness Gale.Jamie and myself have received and award from IFAW( International Fund for Animal Welfare.
We were very surprised and thrilled to be reccognised by IFAW for our work with seals.
We have been in various newspapers in the uk and on the North Tonite news slot.
The media interest has been a great boon for the hospital and helped to raise the hospitals profile.
Jim (caithness co-ordinator) took charge of the hospital to allow Jamie,Tracey (BDMLR medic/hospital vounteer)and myself to head to the House of Lords for the award ceremony.Fortunalty Alan Knight (BDMLR Chairman) and Paul and Jenni Laird (BDMLR medics/vounteers) were also able to join us.
The house of Lords was fantastic, everyone made us feel very welcome.The award ceremony was nerveracking until they told us we didn't have to make a speach, then we both relaxed.
It was great to meet so many interesting people in such an amazing setting.
THANK YOU IFAW for this honor and THANK YOU to The Baroness Gale our hostess for a wonderful day.
