Melanie Hersey, founder of Cambridgeshire’s Touch of Sparkle, has been awarded the British Citizen Award Medal of Honour for her decade-long work supporting cancer patients.
The honor, to be presented January 22, 2026, at the Palace of Westminster, recognizes her efforts in delivering 9,000 care packs and 14,000 reward toys to children at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
The packs, provided to hospitals in Cambridge, Huntingdon, and Peterborough, include comfort items like puzzle books, herbal teas, and wildflower seeds, with recent additions for teenage patients.
The ceremony, hosted by broadcaster Konnie Huq, will include an open-top tour of Westminster.
