JANE Gregory, 51, was awarded the TSB community hero award for her work setting up the Salford Survivors project in 2013.
A survivor of abuse herself, Jane wanted to protect her family after worrying that her daughter was following the same path.
Now, her charity has 25 volunteers, a dedicated helpline and supports people in court situations as well as with housing or medical appointments.
Jane was shocked to find herself among the winners at the Pride of Manchester awards, and despite receiving the award, could not put herself with the other winners.
