The founder of a Lancaster charity that supports people living with neurological conditions has been recognised with a special accolade.
Sharon Jackson has received the Lancashire High Sheriff's Award in recognition of her outstanding service to the community, for her work at Neuro DropIn.
Neuro DropIn provides unique support for anyone affected by conditions including multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, epilepsy, dementia, cerebral palsy, Huntington’s disease, or other brain injuries.
Sharon founded Neuro DropIn after her own diagnosis of MS, recognising the lack of support available for those living with neurological conditions.

A spokeperson for Neuro DropIn said: ‘’Her passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment have created a space, along with loyal volunteers and an amazing team of staff, where people feel understood, supported, and valued.
‘’This award is a testament to her incredible impact, and we couldn’t be more thrilled that she is receiving the recognition she truly deserves.
‘’Congratulations, Sharon! Your Neuro DropIn family is so proud of you!’’
