Pat Watson and John Marriott - September winners
Pat Watson and John Marriott are often described as 'pillars of the community' in Henley. They regularly work over 40 hours a week at their beloved community centre, either in the crèche or café, or organising football tournaments and dances.
They were founding members of the Craven connection, the group that now runs the community centre, and through their dedication and hard work the centre has gone from strength to strength.
Following a suggestion from a resident that chickens should be kept, John and Pat helped that idea take flight, and worked with several local people to create a chicken coop. John was instrumental in the building of the coop, carrying out much of the work himself.
Pat and John have volunteered hours of their time to ensure that there is a community facility in an area of Coventry where it is much needed, and supports local people with valuable resources. They also work closely with the local school - sharing some facilities - and the pupils have been delighted to see the growth of the first batch of chicks.
They have always worked with passion, drive and commitment and deserve to be recognised as Good Citizens of Coventry.
