The following Council email has been received by LOSRA and we are pleased to reproduce it here:
Do you know a special young person aged between five and 19 years of age who is living or receiving education within Spelthorne and deserves recognition for their achievements? You may wish to nominate them for a Spelthorne Youth Award!
We are looking for nominations for the following categories:
- unselfishness, kindness and bravery
- personal achievement
- community spirit
- outstanding academic achievement
- arts achievement (including performing arts)
- sports achievement
- triumph over adversity
Anyone can nominate a young person for an award. All young people nominated will be made aware of their nominations and then short listed for an award. The top nominees from each category will be invited to a special awards ceremony and presented with a certificate and prize from the Mayor of Spelthorne. The deadline for nominations this year is Friday 9 February 2024.
The Mayor of Spelthorne, Cllr Denise Saliagopoulous, said: "The Spelthorne Youth Awards are about recognising and celebrating inspirational young people within our wonderful Borough. If you know a special young person who has excelled in a particular field, made a big difference to their local community, overcome very challenging circumstances or shown exceptional personal qualities, then we would love to hear about them and their achievements."
