Volunteer Award Winner : Anth Brown (Urban Hero Awards 2011)

Anth had a bad reputation as a troublemaker on the Easterside estate in Middlesbrough. Despite being a gifted footballer, he was excluded from school 48 times and was arrested and barred for life from his club Middlesborough FC for streaking across the ground one match.

But thanks to the support of youthworker Tony Grainge and the Eden team in Easterside, Anth turned it all around. He is now helping run a football outreach on his estate and finishing a sports science course.
