The award recognises Anne's tireless work at Yarm Tennis Club, along with Stockton Borough Council in providing sporting opportunities for all ages and standards.
This accompanies Anne's recent National Award, which she received from the British Coaches Association in December 2006.
Clayton is the Head Coach at Yarm Tennis Club and also leads the Stockton Active Sports tennis programme. Her impact has been significant and she continues to be an influential figure in the local area and Durham & Cleveland County.
Anne expressed her delight on receiving the award, "I want to thank those people who nominated me for this award. I am very privileged to be able to coach and work with so many people within the Stockton area. They are the ones who motivate and inspire me to provide opportunities and experiences for them. I am certainly looking forward to continuing working with everyone in the future".
