Jim Prescott, chief executive and founder of Allsports Coaches Coaching Academy , based in Telford, was given the honour, which included a visit to a Buckingham Palace garden party, in recognition of his commitment to volunteering.
Mr Prescott was nominated for his voluntary running of ACCA, which aims to provide high-quality sports coach practitioners to children and young people in Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin. He said:"I understand that this is in recognition of my voluntary running of ACCA however, I think it is also a tribute to everyone who has helped me with the journey since we set up in 2020 just days before the pandemic entered our lives. Honoured, humbled doesn't even start to describe the feeling."
He said:"Attending the King's Coronation Garden Party was truly the experience of a lifetime for my wife and me."The party was a whirlwind of fantastic food, engaging conversations, and royal grandeur.
