Runnymede Borough Council is celebrating the achievements of Community Safety Officer Abi Marsh, who has won the Outstanding Apprentice Award at the Resolve National ASB Awards.
Abi joined the Community Safety team in September 2023 and recently completed her Level 4 Apprenticeship in Antisocial Behaviour and Community Safety, achieving a Distinction. Her award recognises both her academic success and her contribution to tackling antisocial behaviour and supporting residents across the borough.
The award win follows Abi’s recent invitation to attend a Royal Reception at St James’s Palace, where local government professionals from across the country were recognised for their service. During the event, Abi had the opportunity to meet His Majesty The King and speak with fellow housing and community safety professionals from across the UK.
Abi said:
“I was shocked and incredibly grateful to be nominated, let alone to win. Community Safety work is all about supporting people and communities to achieve long-term, positive outcomes, so it means a great deal to have that recognised.”
Abi’s manager, Katie Walker, praised her dedication and growth:
“It has been a privilege to watch Abi develop over the past two years — not only her knowledge and skills, but her confidence and belief in herself. This award is thoroughly deserved.”
The recognition highlights the important role local government officers play in supporting safer, stronger communities.
Runnymede Borough Council is extremely proud of Abi and the contribution she continues to make to residents across the borough.
