Unique recognition for Community colleague in the UK

Ian Williams is part of the G4S Community team, whose work has had a transformative effect on the treatment and support available for drug and alcohol users touched by the criminal justice system in South Wales.
 
The judging panel for the Butler Trust Awards – often described as the Oscars of the sector – was so impressed with Ian’s achievements, they singled him out for recognition, even though his role sits outside of their criteria for an award.
 

Exceptional case 

 The panel instead presented Ian with a special Certificate of Recognition, describing his nomination as “among the strongest we received this year”.
 
They added: “The Trustees wanted to recognise your clearly outstanding work in what is, of course, a closely related field.
 
“That’s something they’ve never done before, but they wanted to make an exception in your case.”
