Leanne has gained a lot of respect from residents and professionals alike through her volunteering in Allerton and Lower Grange.
Leanne, the chairman of Friends of Lady Hill Park, in Allerton, and a committed member and volunteer of Lower Grange Community Centre, has worked hard to ensure the two remain as focal points for residents and helping them to build a better quality of life for themselves.
The 32-year-old, of Allerton, helped secure and co-ordinated more than £100,000 of funding to create a play and activity play area at Lady Hill Park.
She said: “I’ve never won anything in my life, so this is the first time – I wasn’t expecting it. I just love making a difference to people.”
