Arsenal & Lionesses star Beth Mead receives another prestigious award by Michelle
Beth Mead was granted the freedom of the borough of Scarborough last month, but received the honour physically on April 10, 2023.
Beth shared news of the honour on Instragram, with the post’s caption reading: “What a huge honour to receive Freedom of the Borough on a such a historic day. The final day of Scarborough borough council.”
Beth was not born in Scarborough – she was born in Whitby – which is part of the wider borough of Scarborough.
Having suffered a season-ending ACL injury in November 2022, Beth is training hard as part of her recovery, still hopeful of joining the Lionesses for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, which is being held in Australia & New Zealand.
Beth has also been very active off the pitch, during her recovery, helping to raise over £160,000 so far. Following her mum’s passing, Mead became an ambassador for Ovarian Cancer Action, taking on the role of Captain for the official Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month of March. Fans came out in force for the ‘Walk in her Name’ campaign. We featured one young fan’s story, 11 year old Ellie, who walked the full 100km with her Mum Niamh, raising over £2,000 for the cause. Beth is a hugely inspirational character, on and off the pitch.
