Wanstead resident Pamela McCormick has been awarded an MBE for services to music education.

Pamela is CEO of youth music charity UD, which she co-founded in 2000 with a vision of creating the premier agency for spotting and supporting Black music talent in the UK.

“I am deeply grateful to every young creative who’s walked through our doors – their talent, drive and resilience inspire everything we do. This MBE is for all of them,” said Pamela.

Over the last 25 years, UD has engaged with around 50,000 young people.
