One of the Giants Club’s most long-serving supporters was honoured for her charitable services by being made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty the Queen in the annual Birthday Honours List.

Janice Hughes is a Trustee of Space for Giants, which is the conservation charity that created the Giants Club initiative.

The honour was hailed by Max Graham, the CEO of Space for Giants, who said: “It is brilliant to see Janice getting the recognition she deserves. Her work supporting us, and all her charity endeavours, is remarkable. “We are proud that she is one of our Trustees.”
