Wolverhampton teenager who has raised £40,000 hailed for his volunteering work
A schoolboy from Wolverhampton who has helped to raise more than £40,000 for 18 different charities has been recognised for his efforts.
Louis Johnson, of Tettenhall Wood, was named second runner-up in the volunteer category at the Community Inspiration Awards, organised by the Community Foundation.
The 15-year-old, who is a pupil at Smestow Academy, picked up his certificate at a recent awards ceremony in Birmingham.
His mother Teresa said: "It was an amazing event and he was congratulated by West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster.
"I'm very proud of him. He likes to help as many people as he can."
Louis, who is also an ambassador for Birmingham Children's Hospital, has won a string of awards in the past, including being crowned as the regional winner in the UK’s Young Neighbour of the Year Awards, hosted by Co-op Insurance and Neighbourhood Watch, earlier this year.
