The award was set up in the memory of Eric Chadd, a Rotarian, who had been chairman of the rural district council, also a JP (Justice of the Peace). According to his will, it was to be awarded to someone who had voluntarily given years of dedicated service to the Bude and District community.

Rob Cox was the recipient for his "dedicated work and commitment to the First Response Team in Bude".
