An inspirational woman from Edgware who has raised thousands of pounds for charity has been recognised with a lifetime achievement award.
Beverley Phillips was given the Middlesex Lifetime Achievement Award for more than two decades of contribution to Acorn Lawn Tennis Club (ALTA).
She plays an integral role at the club, from organising events and fundraising £50,000 for charity to maintaining the clubhouse and welcoming new members.
As ladies vice-captain, she also arranges fixtures and match-day suppers, ensuring a thriving community which now has more than 100 members.
Beverley was presented with her award by tennis commentator Marcus Buckland at a ceremony on Saturday, March 8.
Beverley told STANMORE&EDGWAREnews: “I am gobsmacked I have been given the award and it is a real honour.
“I was surprised because the work I do at the club doesn’t feel like work at all. I just get on with it because I enjoy it
“At ALTA, we really do have a laugh and I love getting to meet so many people. I pride myself on remembering everyone’s name and on the whole, I have lots of good memories over the last 20 years.”
