Anita Grodkiewicz thanked staff and volunteers at the centre when she found out she was in the New Year’s Honours list.
She said she couldn’t do the job without the people who support her at the Rosmini Centre.
She said: “We have a dedicated team of staff and around 130 volunteers who go above and beyond, but they don’t get the recognition, they need to know just how important they are.
“When I found out I was on the list I was really excited. It was a surprise.
