Vicky McChure MBE
In 2018, actor Vicky - who tragically lost her grandmother to dementia in 2015 - embarked on a deeply personal journey where she set out to discover the true extent of music's power in combatting dementia. And from there, Our Dementia Choir was born. The Line of Duty star has opened a conversation surrounding the disease, which affects 850,000 people across the UK, resulting in reducing stigma and prompting sufferers to seek help. Since then, the choir, which is based in Vicky's home town of Nottingham, has starred in two documentaries alongside performing at the National Television Awards and Splendour Festival. Meanwhile Vicky, 40, was awarded an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours for her services to drama and charity. We can't wait to see what the choir does next.
Figen Murray OBE
Figen is the mother of Martyn Hett, who was killed in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack in 2017. Losing a child is an unbearable pain but Figen, 61, was determined to make a change following the incident. She is in talks with the government, who are working on the finer details of 'Martyn's Law', which is in the process of becoming legislation. The law aims to place a duty on qualifying public premises or events to take steps to reduce the threat of terrorism to the public. Let's hope this comes to fruition in 2024.
