We were thrilled to hear that Susie McDonald, EBS Safeguarding Governor, has been recognised with an MBE for her services to young people and to the prevention of abuse in the 2025 New Year Honours list. Of her achievement, Susie said:
I’m absolutely delighted to receive this MBE, recognising my lifelong mission: to end domestic abuse and sexual violence. Tender is not my work alone, but the collective dedication of so many talented people across more than two decades. It all started with the genius and imagination of Tamsin Larby, Tender’s founder. Abuse is preventable, if only children and young people are empowered with the right skills and knowledge – and our work is proven to do this. I’m so grateful not only for the award, but for the light it will shine on this urgent issue. Now is the time to prevent abuse – let’s make 2025 the beginning of the end.
Further information can be found on the Tender website.
Susie also came in to deliver a series of inspirational talks to students to start our International Women’s Day celebrations.
