Several of major players of the T&T diaspora planned over the last few months to devise a way of recognizing the efforts she made in engaging with the community and Caribbean Diaspora and bringing to her role as Ambassador here in Europe an innovative and refreshing approach.They agreed that they would present her with an Award coming from nationals, their descendants and the many friends of T&T and the HC herself so that she can see how we all felt about her stay with us. This award was given to her at an appreciation ceremony at the Trinidad and Tobago High Commission on Belgrave Square on the 11the of April 2008.
The Award was presented by Miss T&T UK Valerie Gosine and other famous personalities such as Rudolph Walker and emerging T&T UK Dub & Word Poet Ras Conrad were in attendance. See Photos below.

Mrs Glenda Morean Phillips has been one of the more outstanding and hands on High Commissioners, she will be most be remembered for her part in the T&T World cup journey, where unlike the normal aloof attitude of certain predecessors, she was there at the Three Kings Pub in Kennsington to see T&T qualify against Bahrain for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
