All winners of the popular awards for York’s ‘unsung heroes’ were announced last night (September 5) in a ceremony at York Racecourse.
Charlie scooped the York Community Pride Outstanding Contribution Award.
He has worked for the Salvation Army for 17 years and leads its early intervention and prevention team in York.
Charlie and his team carry out street walks five days a week, as early as 5am, to help locate and move people sleeping on the streets to safe accommodation or a hot meal, as well as running a drop-in service.
He also organises free boxing and fitness sessions at the York Masters gym in Redeness Street for ‘anyone who is homeless, or battling addiction, or suffered from mental health issues or is just lonely'.
