​On April 6, 2023, in York Minster, King Charles III handed out Maundy money to select men and women gathered in the cathedral. Among those honoured was John Siebert, the past president of the Oral Health Foundation.

John Siebert was president between 2012 and 2013, having been a trustee of the charity for many years (2002-2016). He has had a successful career in publishing, with one of his former roles including being chairman of George Warman Publications, the publisher of The Dentist and Dental Update.

For most of his life, he has been dedicated to supporting and volunteering for charities. In addition to his work with the Oral Health Foundation, John is a trustee with the Fernhurst Furnace Trust, United World Schools, The Lightbox Museum and Gallery, and Friends of Chichester Cathedral.

Maundy money has traditionally been given out at different cathedrals across the country every year. This ancient tradition is believed to have started as early as 600AD, but the first recorded ceremony was in 1210 at Knaresborough.
