David and his family will be popping down to Windsor Castle later today, (23/04/24) with either The Prince of Wales or the Princess Royal carrying out the investiture ceremony.

As a Roman Catholic Eucharistic minister, Dave also regularly takes Communion to staff and to patients.
Dave says: “I am extremely honoured to have been recognised in this way. I enjoy my role as a volunteer honorary chaplain in the Trust and hope I can bring solace, a sense of peace and hope to all those I meet and those who need pastoral support at very challenging times.”
