WINNER: Luke FitzHerbert

A tireless campaigner and champion of small charities, Luke FitzHerbert worked for the Directory of Social Change for more than 20 years. The former teacher was deputy director of the organisation from 1984 to 1995 and went on to work as its senior researcher. Luke sadly passed away in January 2007. In a tribute to him former NCVO chairman Peter Jay described him as "embodying independence of mind in its purest form. No influence, no doctrine, no -ism, no fashion deflected his opinions or his actions from the course which appealed to his reason, his instincts and his adamantine sense of justice. He belonged to no type and conformed to no template."
