This is a truly extraordinary and well-deserved recognition. Out of 18 distinguished nominees from across the United Kingdom put forward for this high honour, Rev. Bernard Cocker was selected as the award recipient by the council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Story Behind the Nomination: From a Live Broadcast to a High Honour<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For the team at Ukrainian House UK<\/strong> and the Blood Solidarity<\/strong> project, this milestone carries special significance because our initiative had the privilege of formally nominating Rev. Bernard Cocker for this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarkably, the idea to submit his nomination was born live on air during a radio broadcast<\/strong>! While reflecting in the studio on the vital humanitarian assistance provided by Rev. Bernard Cocker and International Aid Trust<\/em>, as well as his active leadership as a Blood Solidarity Ambassador, the inspiration emerged to ensure his dedicated service was recognized with one of Ukraine\u2019s highest civil honours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tune In: Live Radio Interview Next Tuesday<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We are excited to announce an upcoming live discussion with Rev. Bernard Cocker next Tuesday at 4:00 PM (16:00)<\/strong> on ALL FM 96.9<\/strong>. We will talk about his award, his ongoing work for Ukraine, and our joint initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
