It was great to catch up with Keith Berry, an old friend of the Club, this evening.
Keith has recently been honoured with an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List in June 2011 for services to Young People in Wolverhampton.
Keith was joining us in his role as representative of Power Pleas the Wolverhampton charity which provides powered wheelchairs to local disabled youth to help them live a fuller life.
Power Pleas is about to celebrate its 25th year of operation and the Club has been raising funds to support for their work for most of those years.
Most recently members of the Club were invited by Wolverhampton Wanderers to collect outside the Molineux stadium before the Baggies derby and we were pleased tonight to hand Keith a cheque for £1,003 to allow the charity to buy a mobility tricycle for a local youngster with mobility problems.
Keith is active with a number of local charities and the award of the MBE is richly deserved recognition of his work.
