THE man behind a revolutionary hearing loss clinic at a university and the founder of a Sikh foodbank are among those from Greater Glasgow to be named in the New Year Honours list. Usman Rafiq set up Hear to Help at Glasgow Caledonian University four years ago and has been named a BEM in recognition of his services to education and to students with hearing impairments. The clinic offers learners on-site hearing aid repairs and provides free check-ups to the city’s elderly. Usman, 40, said: “It’s so nice to receive recognition for the outreach work in the community. “For our students studying full-time, it isn’t always possible to take a day off and travel across town to get batteries or something like that.
