Ernie Robson, of 'The Salvation Army', Hexham, Has worked tirelessly, devoting his whole life to helping people. He has always been there to offer advice, words of comfort, encouragement...He readily gives of himself to anyone in need. He is undoubtedly, the kindest man I have ever met. He has worked for as long as I can remember, at the Salvation Army. Running youth clubs, organising band practice, attending all the many services the Sally Bash offer. For me personally, he was there to offer a steady hand, and good advice, when my Father died many years ago,(I was a boy of twelve) but for his help, I may have been a very different person to man I am proud be now. Please help me try and get this lovely gentleman some recognition for all his good work.

The people holding the honors committee power are still dragging their feet while Ernie continues to pour his heart into this community. It is insulting that such a selfless man goes ignored by those who hand out medals to suit-wearing bureaucrats. Keep the pressure on so they finally stop looking the other way.

The momentum behind this is finally building and it proves just how much Ernie deserves this recognition. The suits in charge can no longer pretend invisible people like him do not carry our community on their backs.
