Shrewsbury Netball Club's Tina Owen collected the Rose award at the first West Midlands awards ceremony in Walsall for her sterling fundraising efforts.
Tina raised more than £17,000 to purchase specialised sports chairs, pay for weekly use of sports facilities and ensure the sustainability of the club.
On a national level Tina sacrificed her own time to interpret and adapt EN rules and regulations for wheelchair netball by exploring other disability sports. Tibberton Netball Club, based in Newport, were awarded a Gold Cap - an England Netball clubmark accreditation.
Club members Nicolette Byrne and Zoey Sermon have spent the past three years working together to pool all the information required to attain the award.
The club had already received the Nextgen netball award for outstanding contribution to developing and supporting their volunteers. The Young Volunteer of the Year award went to the Tibberton NC's Rachel Massie, who is leaving the club for university.
Tibberton senior coach Caroline Ritchie- Morgan was named Coach of the Year for her work with the West Midlands Warriors, who won the Regional League title.
Shropshire will be hoping for more awards at the England Goalden Globe ceremony on September 13.
