Mary receives British Empire Medal from Lord Lieutenant of Surrey

Mary Kasey was presented with a British Empire Medal by the HM Lord Lieutenant of Surrey at Loseley House in Loseley Park recently.

The citation reads that Mary has been volunteering for 50 years for Save the Children in Sutton and District, and has been a key member in helping raised £3m for the fund.

The British Empire Medal (BEM) was granted to Mary Kasey in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in recognition of her outstanding work for ‘Save the Children’.

Mary has worked unsparingly for the charity locally promoting and supporting the Cheam Village charity shop and has, throughout the years, organised and participated in a variety of fund-raising events playing a major role in raising nearly £3 million over the last 50 years. She has also knitted over 3000 baby blankets for local hospitals and for babies abroad since being diagnosed with cancer nearly 10 years ago.

The award will be followed by a Tea Party at Buckingham Palace in 2018.
