Jeffrey Branch, Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Berkshire, who presented the Individual award said:
"Two years ago Meryll Praill set up Newbury Soup Kitchen without any knowledge or experience of homelessness or the myriad of problems that leads to a person losing their home. The day she met Adrian Swift, Managing Director of the Swift Group was highly fortuitous; from the outset he has offered her guidance, support, introductions to relevant businesses and even the donation of a van to deliver the food to the homeless. With the full and enthusiastic support of everyone at The Swift Group, Adrian has been a guiding light to Meryl offering outstanding support over the past two years. Berkshire is a better place because of men like Adrian and we are delighted to announce him as the winner of the Individual Award tonight. He will be receiving a weekend away worth £300 which the judges consider is fully deserve."
