The pilot successfully launched, but an anomaly stopped the satellites reaching orbit
Lincolnshire’s answer to the late Steve Irwin will be recognised for his dedicated work with rescued animals at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park, when he receives the British Citizen Award at the Palace of Westminster this month.
The British Citizen Award is seen as the nation’s way of recognising extraordinary people in everyday life who go above and beyond to represent today’s multicultural and welcoming UK.Steve founded a charity in the early 90s to both assist local parrot owners and their pets, and take rescued parrots to see terminally ill children – though his mission would soon change from parrots to the wider animal community.
Thanks to Steve’s dedicated work, trustees and staff at the park are now responsible for over 1,500 animals, each with a uniquely created facility that provides a therapeutic value to many areas of the mental health sector. The medal presentation will be hosted by TV personality Nick Knowles, and attended by Lord Dholakia and Specsavers founder Dame Mary Perkins.
