Barry Price has been honoured with Coventry’s Good Citizen Award for his incredible fundraising efforts for local charities.

Through the Coventry Motorcycle Action Group, Barry has organised and led many charity events, including Christmas Toy Runs, Easter Egg Runs, pet food deliveries to animal sanctuaries, and various annual fundraising events.

Through his efforts, over £100,000 has been raised for local causes, making a significant difference to communities and services throughout Coventry.

Barry also supports motorcyclists by coordinating ‘Biker Down’ first‑aid training, and welcoming new riders, helping promote safety, confidence, and responsible riding. His commitment has created a vital social network for members, fostering friendships and support for those who need it most.

His citation for the award said: “Widely respected for bringing people together, strengthening his community, and working for the good of others, Barry is a truly deserving recipient of this Coventry Good Citizen Award.”

Presenting the award, the Lord Mayor of the City of Coventry, Cllr Roger Bailey, said: “Barry has given vital support to several good causes across the city and region. His efforts have brought joy to children, supported young carers, aided vulnerable animals, and so much more.

“In his charity fundraising and through his work for the Motorcycle Action Group, he has made a real difference to the people of Coventry and thoroughly deserves the title of Good Citizen.”
