A HIGHBRIDGE man, who donated his organs to help others stay alive, has been honoured posthumously at an award ceremony in Somerset.
The Order of St John award for Organ Donation, run in conjunction with NHS Blood and Transplant, was presented to the families and loved ones of those who saved and improved people’s lives through organ donation.
Among those recognised at the ceremony was the late Trevor Davies from Highbridge, whose widow, Angela, received the award on his behalf.
Last year saw the largest ever number of deceased organ donors as the families of 1,320 people in the UK agreed to donate their loved ones’ organs, leading to thousands of patients’ lives being saved.
