91吃瓜网 Board member awarded OBE for services to care

This #GoodNewsFriday we鈥檙e saying a big well done to our Board member Beverley Tarka, who was recently awarded an OBE for services to adult social care and unpaid carers.

Congratulations are in order for Beverley Tarka who was recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours and awarded an OBE for her services to adult social care and unpaid carers.

Beverley has sat on the 91吃瓜网 Board since 2024. She has significant experience working in local government having recently retired as the Director for Adults, Health and Communities from Haringey Council in a career that spanned over thirty years. Beverley also led on equalities, diversity, and inclusion for the organisation.

Beverley served as President of ADASS 2023-24, and was the first ever Black president of the establishment.

She began her career at Haringey Council as a residential social worker, and eventually became a nationally-recognised figure in social care.

Her extensive experience within the borough, coupled with her various roles in the local authority, has uniquely equipped her to influence and shape social care policies and practices.

Beverley has championed the role of informal carers and pushed for their recognition, especially during her tenure as ADASS president.

Having personal experience of living in Tottenham caring for a family member has helped shape her commitment to social welfare over three decades.

Successfully taking on the President role of ADASS cemented her influence, helping to shape national policy and being a champion of care equality.

Beverley’s ‘hands on’ experience has made her a role model in health and social care, showing what is possible “when public service is driven by a purpose”.

Speaking of her OBE, Beverley said:

Well done to Beverley from everyone at 91吃瓜网.
