The following people were given a Points of Light award in March 2015 (the numbering continues from February’s winners):
234. Reverend Jan Gould (Cardiff)
Jan, a vicar from Cardiff, has set up a thriving community music group for children. The group, Making Music Changing Lives, gives local children from primary schools the chance to learn a musical instrument. Jan has brought together many volunteers, including students and teachers from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and professional musicians, to teach over 70 children in her church hall each week.
235. Trish Davidson (Bath)
Trish founded the charity Unchosen to raise public awareness of human trafficking through films and campaigns. Trish believes passionately that film can bring the human stories behind trafficking and exploitation to wide audiences. Under her leadership, Unchosen works closely with local authorities, non-governmental organisations and community volunteers.
236. Ras Fernando (Chiswick)
Ras has helped to transform the London music scene by volunteering with Sofar Sounds. This organisation puts on live gigs in unique places, giving local artists somewhere to hone their performance skills. A number of award-winning bands, including Bastille, Hozier and Stornoway, all began their careers with Sofar Sounds.
237. Sebastian Handley (Lewisham)
Sebastian has created London’s smallest library inside a disused phone box. Sebastian bought the iconic red K2 British phone box for £1 as part of a BT scheme. He spent £500 of his own money on extra lights in the ceiling, laid carpet and opened it up to the public. The library has 7 shelves and houses over 200 books from fiction and reference, with a whole shelf dedicated to children’s books. It is looked after by 2 librarians.
