Three residents have been rewarded for their selfless efforts with council honours.
The Mayor of Fareham, Cllr Pal Hayre, presented the Citizen and Young Citizen of Honour 2024 awards at a special ceremony on Wednesday, October 9.
The winners were also gifted a family ticket to a show of their choice at Fareham Live.
Trevor Conduit was named Citizen of Honour for his unwavering dedication to Sophie’s Legacy.
Since June 2022, Trevor has been volunteering tirelessly for the charity, often helping four to five days a week.
A council spokesperson said: "Trevor is what one would want in a volunteer; he is reliable, dedicated, and a huge advocate for the charity.
"He gives so much back to the community and the charity would be lost without him."

The Young Citizen of Honour award was given to Lewis Ferriroli.
Lewis, a first responder, saved the life of a 15-year-old boy who suffered a cardiac arrest at Holly Hill Leisure Centre.
His swift action and life-saving CPR, along with the correct use of a defibrillator, contributed to the positive outcome in a traumatic situation.
The spokesperson said: "Saving a life is a massive reward in itself and one that Lewis will live with for the rest of his life."
Councillor Hayre said: "It was a pleasure to present these inspirational members of Fareham’s community with their Citizen and Young Citizen of Honour awards.
"I was truly moved by their incredible stories, and hope that they encourage others to make a positive impact in the borough."
The Citizen and Young Citizen of Honour 2025 awards will be open for nominations in November.
