THE campaigning mum and sister of Samantha Madgin have picked up MBEs from the King at Windsor Castle.

- SAM VOLPE Health reporter

Alison Madgin and Carly Barrett have spent well over a decade raising awareness about the dangers of knife crime, following the devastating murder of the Wallsend mum back in 2007.

Alison and Carly were pictured at the investiture at Windsor Castle, at an event which also saw the likes of TV hosts Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly formally receive honours from the King. Their MBEs were announced in June 2024, in the King’s Birthday Honours list.

Alison and Carly’s campaigning has seen them devote their lives to educating young people about the dangers of carrying knives.
