The MU congratulate our North member Claire who on Wednesday 1 December, received an award for exceptional service to the City of Manchester from its Mayor, Councillor Tommy Judge.

The award was presented to Claire for her significant contributions to Women’s rights, worker’s rights and tackling homophobia and social injustice across the City.

Thank you @LordMayorOfMcr for the amazing Special Recognition Award I received from you today. Huge thanks to @bevcraig for your lovely comments and for the standing ovation from all in the Council Chamber...I’ll treasure it. 🙏 To get this from my home city #Manchester is brill

Claire was previously a member of the North of England Regional Committee.

Lost count of the number of years I’ve been on @WeAreTheMU North of England Regional Committee - but for a variety of reasons it’s time to make way for new blood. Been a privilege to represent #musicians for so long. To all on the RC keep on keeping on. #JointheUnion 💪
