The Trustees and volunteers are extremely pleased that Bob Lewis is one of 500 outstanding volunteers to be chosen as the nation’s Coronation Champions. Bob Lewis is Founder and Joint Chairman of Medi Tech Trust and has been recognised for his contribution and crowned a Coronation Champion.
The Coronation Champions Awards invited people across the UK to nominate their local volunteering heroes who are going the extra mile. With the support of Her Majesty The Queen Consort, a passionate advocate of volunteering and President of Royal Voluntary Service, the Coronation Champions Awards were launched to recognise exceptional volunteers from across the country at this momentous point in history.
Catherine Johnstone CBE, Chief Executive of the Royal Voluntary Service said: “We were completely blown away by the response to the Community Champions Awards and the huge volume of amazing nominees put forward. Our judges had a tough job selecting just 500 Champions from an array of thousands of inspirational individuals, who all deserve to be recognised and commended. Each of our Coronation Champions displayed a commitment and contribution that far exceeds any expectation and we’re overjoyed to honour and thank them during this exciting point in history.”
“An outstanding volunteer from Eastbourne has been recognised by Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort as part of the official Coronation celebrations in conjunction with Royal Voluntary Service. Bob impressed judges with his drive and dedication to improve patients welfare by providing medical equipment to both hospitals and surgeries and his willingness to “go the extra mile”.
All Coronation Champions were invited to attend one of the official Coronation celebrations, such as the Windsor Castle Coronation Concert. They also received a specially designed, official Coronation Champions pin and a certificate signed by Their Majesties.
Commenting on becoming a Coronation Champion, Bob Lewis said: “It’s an honour to be named a Coronation Champion. For two decades the Medi Tech Trust Team have devoted their time to support hospitals and surgeries in the community and also those in low income countries”.
