Group presented with Royal honour

The King's representative in Leicestershire has presented the Melton Community First Responders group with an award on behalf of His Majesty.

Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire, Mike Kapur OBE presented the group with the King's Award For Voluntary Service, a group's equivalent to an MBE, on Friday 11th April.

In a presentation attended by some of our responders along with the friends and families the Lord Lietenant praised the group for all of the hard work and hailed the group as ‘one of the county’s best examples of voluntary service’.

A trophy and certificate were accepted by Ina Scott, one of the four original members from when it was formed 21 years ago this month.

The event was also attended by representatives from East Midlands Ambulance Service who the group respond alongside.

The group extend their thanks for the award and also pass on thanks to the Hamilton Tennis Club who hosted the awards presentation.
