🌟 A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR INCREDIBLE YOUTH LEAD, ANGEL! 🌟
Today, our wonderful Angel received the Community Star Award at the Children and Young People Awards — and we honestly couldn’t be prouder. ❤️
Angel is one of those very special people who doesn’t just work with young people — she genuinely cares about them, believes in them and makes them feel seen.
Since joining us last year as a volunteer, Angel has gone from strength to strength. Her passion, kindness and determination to make sure every young person feels safe, valued, included and heard has made such a huge difference to the young people in our community.
What started as volunteering has grown into something truly amazing. Angel now runs three weekly youth clubs, our weekend youth multisports sessions, and is already planning even more sessions, activities and workshops for our young people.
But the numbers and the sessions only tell part of the story.
The real impact of Angel is in the young people who walk through our doors feeling shy, uncertain or perhaps like they don’t quite belong — and leave feeling welcome, listened to, supported and proud to be themselves.
It’s in the friendships she has helped create.
It’s in the confidence she has helped build.
It’s in the opportunities she creates.
And it’s in the countless young people who now know there is an adult in their corner who genuinely believes in them.
Angel, we appreciate you more than you will ever know. Your energy, compassion, commitment and huge heart make such a difference to our community, and we are incredibly lucky to have you as part of our team.
You started with us as a volunteer, but you have become such an important part of what we do — and we cannot wait to see all the amazing things you continue to achieve. 🥹❤️
So please join us in giving our incredible Angel the biggest, loudest, most well-deserved round of applause! 👏👏👏
Congratulations, Angel — this award is so very deserved. 🌟❤️
