Crisis CEO awarded OBE for services to homeless people

Leslie Morphy, the CEO of Crisis has been awarded an OBE in the 2010 Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to homeless people.

Leslie said, on receiving her OBE:

"I am deeply honoured to have had the work of Crisis in delivering services and campaigning for change for single homeless people recognised in the Queen's Birthday honours list. It is of course not so much an honour for me personally but recognition of the hard work by everyone at Crisis - our Trustees, our nearly 200 staff, the 10,000 people who volunteer their time and thousands more donors, supporters and campaigners - and not just this year but throughout our 43 year history. I am very grateful to them all."

"Most importantly it is a recognition of the achievements of all the homeless people who Crisis has worked with and how, through working together, Crisis has enabled them to transform their own lives - this honour is above all for them."
