00:05 So yeah, firstly, thank you very much for asking me to attend the award.
00:10 Howard has done a brilliant job over the last couple of weeks.
00:14 He's been talking quite regularly.
00:16 So I just want to say, thank you to Howard.
00:19 [applause]
00:26 I'm Robert Linn on the ACL community liaison, so it's been absolutely a pleasure for me to come here tonight
00:32 and see so many community champions and heroes and groups.
00:36 So I'm very delighted to present the Eco-Aureole Award to Anne Graper.

01:13 So I'm really happy to be chatting down with you here.
01:16 Howard, again, it's a nice to meet you.
01:18 It's a pleasure.
01:19 I've heard a few good news here, which is well said.
01:21 Anne's been a local leader in the community for many years now.
01:25 Her initiatives, it was about the Edinburgh community garden and then the Gilroy and Phillips gardens.
01:31 She's helped make the 10B a field training community,
01:35 plastic free 10Bs were her objectives as well,
01:38 as well as finding volunteers to help improve retail in the spaces
01:43 and for part of the team that started the 10B community fridge in the old chapel.
01:48 So more and more initiatives like that have been started across Cambridgeshire,
01:53 so it's a really good one for example.
01:55 Also started the 10B with me and Catherine,
01:58 who's part of the long list of things I haven't seen since June 11th.
02:01 [laughter]
02:03 Yep, volunteers are also good as well.
02:05 [laughter]
02:08 Also organised a little mix around the town and has helped to start Eco-Friendly 10B community.
02:13 So again, pleased to be joined now.
02:16 That's my pleasure.
