Graeme Reid, of Christchurch, QSM, for services to mental health support
Graeme Reid explored social issues within the local community with the Spreydon Baptist Church and set up a community drop-in centre for people who felt marginalised and unable to access mental health facilities. He established the Tuesday Night Fellowship, a Christian group that provides a wide range of support to the vulnerable within the community, and created the Stepping Stone Trust, which is now the largest NGO mental health service in Canterbury. Mr Reid established the Caroline Reid Family Support Trust to provide programmes and care for hundreds of children in families experiencing mental illnesses.
