Malcolm Ozin OBE honoured with Lifetime Achievement Award at Barnet Civic Awards 2025

08 May 2025

We are proud to announce that Malcolm Ozin OBE has been awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the London Borough of Barnet Civic Awards 2025. This honour recognises Malcolm’s extraordinary commitment to Jewish Blind & Disabled and the community over more than 55 years.

The Civic Awards ceremony took place on Tuesday 29th April 2025 in the Council Chamber at Hendon Town Hall. Now in its 25th year, the event celebrates individuals and groups whose dedication and service have made a lasting impact across the borough. As The Worshipful the Mayor of the London Borough of Barnet, Councillor Tony Vourou, noted, the awards are “a beacon of recognition, shining a light on the extraordinary efforts of those who strive to make the London Borough of Barnet a better place.”

Malcolm’s journey with Jewish Blind & Disabled began in its earliest days, and his leadership has been instrumental in shaping the organisation into the vital lifeline it is today for Jewish people living with physical disabilities and vision impairments. His unwavering dedication has helped JBD to grow in both scale and reach, ensuring that our tenants can live independently with dignity, security and choice.

Speaking of the award, JBD Chief Executive Lisa Wimborne said, “Malcolm Ozin’s vision, perseverance, and deep sense of community responsibility have been the foundation on which JBD was built. His legacy is seen not only in our buildings but in the lives of every individual who has benefited from our work. We are absolutely delighted that his immense contribution has been recognised with this well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award.”

We extend our warmest congratulations to Malcolm on this honour, and our heartfelt thanks for a lifetime of service that continues to inspire all of us involved with Jewish Blind & Disabled.
