Northern Ireland's Clodagh Dunlop received an MBE for her services to stroke survivors and for her work reforming stroke services.

She is a Stroke Association Ambassador and has educated and inspired many stroke survivors in the UK and around the world.

Patrick McCourt and Karen McCourt, from Larne, County Antrim, both receive BEM for services to fostering children in Northern Ireland. They are both over 70 years old and have raised over 331 children together over the past 45 years.

Rebecca Redfern, from Droitwich, received an MBE for services to young people and the community in Worcestershire. She was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa at age 7, and at age 14 she was identified as a disabled swimmer by British Swimming. She has since gone on to win medals at the 2016 and 2021 Olympics as a GB Paralympic swimmer and she has visited hundreds of schools across Worcestershire to talk to children about overcoming obstacles to succeed.

Deborah Pezzani, from Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, received a BEM for her services to adolescents and young adults with cancer. In 2007, she founded Teens Unite to bring together young people aged 13 to 24 living with cancer. The charity hosts more than 100 beneficiary activities and events each year, has nearly 100 volunteers and has raised just over a million.

Sally Bourton received a BEM for services to the community in Cornwall. She is a schoolmistress in Trewoon and has been at the heart of the community for 24 years. She ran the post office along with local fundraising activities and was instrumental in bringing together local volunteers willing to help the community during the pandemic. For King Charles's coronation, she organized that every child in the village received a Mint coin bearing the king's head.

Dean Jackson, from Derbyshire, received an MBE for services to business and innovation for setting up his own wetsuit company, HUUB. This first emerged in 2011 when Dean noticed a gap in the market after little progress had been made in wetsuit design and performance. HUUB has since expanded its products into cycling gear and is now worn by some of the world's best athletes, including the Brownlee brothers.

Alison Baverstock, from Kingston upon Thames, received an MBE for charitable services to families in the British Armed Forces community. She founded her charity, Reading Force, in 2011 to develop a plan to support parents in the military to read with their children during deployment and training. The scope of the scheme was later extended throughout the UK and to British forces overseas. To date, over 250,000 people have requested reading scrapbooks or received reading books to improve their children's reading skills.

Anyone is free to nominate someone for honor.
