Barry Hyde, a resident of Rossendale, has been recognized with a British Empire Medal (BEM) for his outstanding contributions to the Bacup community. His efforts include founding the Rossendale 60s Festival, collaborating with organizations like Rossendale Radio and Relay For Life Rossendale, and promoting the borough's attractions, heritage, and events.
Barry Hyde has been named as one of the Medallists of the Order of the British Empire for services to the community in Bacup . He has been recognised for his exceptional contribution to the community, from founding Rossendale 60s Festival to working with several organisations including Rossendale Radio and Relay For Life Rossendale to enhance life in the Valley.
“With the blessing and support of my wife Ann, I have dedicated much of my time since retirement to the Rossendale community but think it is important to emphasise and acknowledge that any success that I might have had over the years could not have been achieved without exceptional teams and individuals supporting those efforts.
He was invited to take up the position of secretary to Rossendale Revival, an events organising group in 2011, which was responsible for events such as Clogs Ont Cobbles and the Rawtenstall Annual Fair and remained with them until 2014. This group was superseded later that year by The Promoting Rossendale Partnership Board , which he was a member of. The Partnership aimed to change perceptions of Rossendale as a place to visit, live, work or do business and strengthen the visitor economy of Rossendale.
He wrote a regular column in the Free Press under the title of ‘Rossendale Revealed’ until 2022, promoting the many community groups and organisations to the community. He is also a member of the Bacup Neighbourhood Forum and a former member of the Rawtenstall Town Team.
