This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition Give an OBE or MBE to 96 year old volunteer Peggy Maskery for 80 years service.

PEGGY Maskery is among the army of volunteers at a Wirral charity helping those less fortunate – and a true inspiration.

She arrived on the doorstep at Charles Thompson's Mission in Birkenhead, aged just eight, with mum Dolly Monaghan in 1928.

More details

She started volunteering there at the age of 16 and for the last 80 years has served thousands of meals to the area's needy.

Now a sprightly 96, she has no plans to retire.
