A Burntwood woman has been given a year’s free leisure centre membership after being nominated by her friend.

Lichfield District Council had asked residents to put forward people they thought were worthy of winning the prize.

Mother-of-two Claire Mee, 43, was nominated by her friend Abbie Fisher and selected by Active Leisure staff as the winner.

Abbie said:

> “I wanted to nominate Claire for everything she has been through in recent months.  
>  
> “She has been affected by cancer and come through it. Hopefully this leisure centre membership will help her enjoy some special family time with her kids.  
>  
> “Claire always thinks of others before herself. She is a very selfless person and winning this prize is nice for her – she thoroughly deserves it.”   
>  
> Abbie Fisher

Claire, who is mum to Daisy and Teddy said:

> “I am really very grateful to Abbie for the nomination.  
>  
> “It was a lovely surprise. To have a family membership is not something we would be able to afford ordinarily – it will be nice for me and the kids to visit together.”  
>  
> Claire Mee

A spokesperson for Lichfield District Council said:

> “A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Active Leisure competition earlier this month – we were inundated with fantastic nominees.  
>  
> “Many congratulations to Claire. We all hope you and your family enjoy your family membership to the district’s leisure centres.”
