Councillor Sheila Scott, portfolio holder for Health Improvement and Leisure Services at Blaby District Council, said:

“The awards recognise individuals and sport clubs that make an outstanding contribution to sport or health related activities in the district.

“It is not just about those who compete, the awards also celebrate the volunteers who give up their spare time to coach or those that often go unnoticed, but work tirelessly behind the scenes to help a club run smoothly.”
