Young citizens award

An event that recognises and rewards the contribution made by young people in our schools to the community takes place at the Winter Gardens, Weston-super-Mare on 30 June.

Over 100 young people will receive awards at this prestigious event across a range of categories including fundraising and voluntary work.

"These awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of school and college students in Weston who give up their time to support the local and wider community. Weston-super-Mare should be proud of them," said Julaine Baldan, Director of The Weston Federation of Schools.

Cllr Jeremy Blatchford, North Somerset Council's executive member for children and young people's services, will open the event and present awards along with Weston-super-Mare's deputy mayor, Cllr Dr Mike Kellaway-Marriott, and Chairman of North Somerset Council, Cllr Ian Porter.

The award ceremony will commence at 7.30pm and end at 9.30pm approximately.
