Bedford Honorary Life Memberships are awarded to people and groups who have displayed outstanding service to Bedford, or to the disability sector (often both) and who, through their efforts, have contributed significantly to supporting people with disability.

They may have achieved this through long-term volunteering, tireless campaigning, or through exemplary work at Bedford, in government, the disability sector, or in private enterprise.

We are now accepting nominations for new Bedford Honorary Life Membership and encourage you to nominate any individuals, couples or groups (ie; service clubs, groups or businesses) who have;

• provided exceptional support over a considerable period of time and/or made achievements in the development or enhancement of the disability community and/or Bedford Group;

• enhanced the outcomes for the Bedford Group through their actions in the disability sector;

• served as an exemplar to Bedford Group employees and clients;

• provided paid service to Bedford that is of significant length and/or quality; and/or

• made distinguished contribution to Bedford Group.

If you know of anyone who meets the criteria, we welcome your nomination!
