Bill Bowen was awarded the 50-year chevron as a recognition of his unwavering dedication to service and philanthropy in the local area.
As a longstanding member of the global organisation, that is renowned for its commitment to community wellbeing, charitable causes, and humanitarian work, Bill’s contributions have made a lasting impact in his local community and beyond.
Bluebell View Care Home said the 93-year-old’s efforts to help others and support charitable initiatives have touched the lives of many, and that this new recognition is a "testament to his incredible commitment and passion for giving back".
The 50-year chevron award comes after Bill was previously honoured with a British Empire Medal (BEM) by the late Queen Elizabeth II for his contribution to the Oswestry community.
