Roy Moore set up the 1881 movement to improve match day experience for Watford FC fans.
He is unpaid and his dedication to the club, the town and its residents is well known. He raises money for many fan displays, he also helps run a food bank and organises Christmas gifts for children in Watford General Hospital. His passion for the Bunker and organising the displays Watford is known for are matched by his dedication to helping others.
Alison Thomas has dedicated 30 years to helping vulnerable woman make positive changes to their lives.
Alisons selfless and caring attitude has benefited thousands of women who have felt lasting effects from her help.
