Jones, Jeanne
Jeanne, together with David Jones, were Exeter City Supporters’ Trust members of the year 2013/14 in recognition of their work as the club's disabled supporters liaison officers.
Exeter City supporter Jeanne Jones was named as 'Volunteer of the Year' by LPF. The award is given to those club volunteers who have encouraged the participation and inclusion of disabled supporters or has worked to break down barriers and stereotypes at the sports club they support.
On learning about Jeanne winning the award, ECDSA chairman Nick Saunders (who himself won the award back in 2009), said: "Everyone at ECDSA is so pleased for Jeanne as she's a very worthy winner because she is everything Exeter City is all about: 'everyone working together for the better good for their football club'."
Joyce Cook OBE, the Chair of LPF said: "Everyone at Level Playing Field would like to congratulate Jeanne on being awarded the Volunteer of the Year Award by LPF. This award is very well-deserved as recognition for her years of dedication and hard work as a volunteer, assisting disabled supporters at Exeter City and ECDSA."
You don't have to look far to find Jeanne - she'll either be at the Cat & Fiddle training ground where she helps out with preparing and serving players lunches or at the Park where she helps in the accounts department. On match days Jeanne can be found at the entrance used by players, officials, stewards, journalists and photographers by booking in arrivals, issuing passes and making everyone feel very welcome. If that's not enough, Jeanne is also Secretary for ECDSA.
Upon being named as Volunteer of the Year, Jeanne said: "I am delighted to have won this award. I really enjoy being involved at Exeter City and helping out where I can, but I couldn't do what I do without the help of the many other volunteers and staff at the club together with my husband David."
