Maggie holds a birthday card for the NHS by Bradford People’s Coalition Against the Cuts, 2012. THE final award goes to Maggie Pearse for her dedicated, determined and tireless work with those seeking asylum in Bradford. Maggie, together with her husband Barry, is one of the founding members of BIASAN - Bradford Immigration & Asylum Support & Advice Network - formed in 1999. The group was launched at the ‘World in a City’ event at Bradford Festival to welcome newly arrived asylum seekers dispersed to Bradford. Speaking on behalf of all at BIASAN, Amanda Mortimer said: Maggie is the main driving force here – as coordinator, motivator and facilitator, she aims to bring people together from many countries, cultures and backgrounds to help each other, offering friendship, practical and emotional support.
