Northern Leaders Trust (NLT), in association with Northern Insight Magazine are excited to announce the launch of NLT Community Champion Awards to celebrate the achievements of the exceptional young people who make our community a better place.
Humbled to hear about the extraordinary contributions made by young people, Mr Kirtley, CEO of NLT, said: “I wanted to create the opportunity to acknowledge the kindness and support towards others that so many young people demonstrate every day.”
Nominations can be made by anyone provided that the young person attends a primary or secondary school/college in Newcastle – whether that is in the independent sector, a local authority maintained school, a faith school, an academy or a school for children with special needs.
Michael Grahamslaw, owner and manager of Northern Insight, said: “We are delighted to support the awards and promote the kindness of young people in our region. I am sure many of our readers will know someone who should be nominated.”
There are seven categories to enter, which are:
Community Hero
Young Fundraiser of the Year
Welcoming New Students into the Community
Special Recognition
Act of Kindness
Young Carer
Courage Award
A glittering awards ceremony will take place on 30th June at Kenton School.
