Every sports club has one.
The person who opens up the building before everyone arrives.
The coach who gives up evenings and weekends.
The volunteer who never asks for recognition but keeps everything running behind the scenes.
The Manchester Sports Awards are a chance to say thank you.
If you know a volunteer who makes a difference through sport, why not nominate them?
A few minutes of your time could give them the recognition they truly deserve.
