Queens Honour Award
I am delighted to share with you that I have received Queens Honour Award the British Empire Medal (BEM) for my services to young people in Peterborough for last 38 years. The Queens Honour Award is in recognition of my lifetime contributions, which impacted the lives of thousands of young people by keeping them off Streets, Drugs, Crime and Anti-Social behaviour and instead providing young people safe environment to participate in sports activities, offering them opportunities to take part in group discussions.
60th Year of Arrival in Peterborough In April 2014 I organised six-week exhibition at the Peterborough Museum and later held a ten day exhibition in Peterborough Cathedral. Both exhibitions were exceptionally well attended and successful. The exhibition inclouded 170 page A5 community heritage history in photographs book, A6 booklet with summary of the community heritage history in the city, displayed over a dozen individual profiles of variety of people from the community including original pioneers as well as new arrivals in our City, made a DVD of the Peterborough British-Pakistani community and displayed several small exhibits from Pakistan and Kashmir. This was the first ever exhibition of this kind held at the Peterborough Museum and offered a unique opportunity to learn about the heritage history of the British-Pakistani community. According to the Museum large numbers of both primary and secondary schools pupils visited the exhibition and learnt about the Peterborough British-Pakistani community I am immensely proud that I lead this project from start to finish.
