A young volunteer is among those to pick up an award from the Mayor of London for his dedication to the community.

Luke Meah-Wilson, 17, is no stranger to accolades, having won the Wimbledon Guardian’s Merton Civic Award for Young Person’s Achievement earlier this year.

Actress Barbara Windsor MBE, designer Wayne Hemingway MBE and Paralympian Martine Wright alongside Mayor Boris Johnson, presented awards to winners at a ceremony in City Hall.

Dr Nihara Krause from Wandsworth won the over 25 years-old section for the My Community category for her work as the founder and CEO of Wimbledon-based charity STEM4, which aims to increase awareness and reduce stigma of mental health conditions in teenagers.

Mr Meah-Wilson picked up the award in the under 25 category for his work at Wimbledon scouts, St Luke’s Church youth group and at Wimbledon Park bowls club.

Merton Conservatives leader Councillor Oonagh Moulton said: "I know Luke and his family well and he’s a credit to the community of Wimbledon Park.

"This follows the recognition Luke has already received in Merton’s own volunteering and community awards."

Beau Fadahunsi from Sutton, who was a Team London location manager at Wimbledon tennis championships in 2012, took part in the winter 2013 programme and this year led a team at the Gatwick Airport pod as well as working closely with schools in Merton to get pupils involved in volunteering.

She picked up the Mayor’s Special Achievement Award at the Team London awards on Wednesday, September 17.
