Gavin has driven delegations from Wales to Calais to volunteer with Care4Calais, sharing his experiences to dispel misinformation about refugees. Criticising the lack of action, he said: “We know it’s possible to give people safe passage, so why doesn’t the Government act?”
Gavin said he was “honoured” to accept the award: “I am on a journey of discovery with lots more to do. We need to speak out for those who can’t.”
