A HULL woman has received a prestigious medal in recognition of her work in the community.

- By SOFIE JACKSON

Ashleigh Hirst BCAh, from Kingswood, was bestowed with the British Citizen Award in Healthcare at London’s Palace of Westminster on Thursday.

Ashleigh is the co-founder of two charities that serve the Hull and East Yorkshire area. HEY Endo was formed after Ashleigh battled symptoms of endometriosis for many years before she was finally diagnosed in 2017.

Last year, HEY Endo distributed 11,604 sanitary products to tackle period poverty locally.

It has also created the first-ever workplace charter for endometriosis, aimed at make working easier for women living with the chronic pain condition.

Ashleigh also co-founded the charity Doreen’s with her mum, which celebrates its first anniversary on Saturday, July 26.
