TWO Islanders have been made MBEs in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list – one for working with children and another for supporting disabled people.

Denise Carroll (46) is a founding member of Milli’s Child Contact Centre, a service where children of divorced or separated parents can spend time with family members they may not see.

She has devoted the last ten years to running the centre and has recently returned to the helm after battling breast cancer last year.

Ursula Dingle (formerly Emmanuel) helped set up the Jersey Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus in 1968, shortly after her daughter Cheryl was born with spina bifida.
