Charles and Judith Stewart
Charles Stewart and Judith Stewart, of Timaru, received the Queen’s Service Medal for services to youth. Mrs and Mr Stewart have fostered about 60 children during the last 37 years. In many instances, they have taken on children for whom the authorities have not been able to find other carers, and they have devoted their home, time, money and effort to assist in their rehabilitation. The Stewarts have been instrumental in turning around many young lives.
