Albert Neale - October Winner
Albert has been honoured with the Good Citizen Award for his outstanding service to the communities of the city. Over the years Albert has embarked on many ventures, he has been a Parent and Governor at Walsgrave Church of England Primary School where he helped to organise many fund raising events including the school’s annual fete, he was also a volunteer for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme undertaking tasks which included assessing walking routes, driving, being the kit manager and supervisor for tent building. All of these supported young people to reach their goals within the scheme and helped them to become more independent.
Along with his passion for helping the younger generation, Albert has been the driving force for establishing the latest Foodbank distribution point at Walsgrave Baptist Church. This provides three-day emergency food parcels and support to local people and families in need.
Through his voluntary work he has shown tremendous commitment to the people of Coventry, his actions justly reflect his character and he is well deserved of this Good Citizen Award.
