Saxon Weald recognises inspiring young people in the local community

Date: 9 January 2025

In December, we celebrated the personal achievements of young people in our communities in our third annual Youth Awards.

Family members, carers, teachers, friends, and youth workers were invited to make their nominations in one of five categories: local community, achievement in learning, young carer, sport and physical activity, and young leader .

The winners were selected by members of Saxon Weald staff and Board, as well as Youth Provision Officer for Horsham District Council, Dan Fairchild, and Lara Gavin from Jewson Partnership Solutions, who kindly sponsored the awards this year.

A huge congratulations to our 2024 winners who each received a certificate, engraved trophy, and a £100 gift voucher:

⭐️ Local Community - Lilly Halliwell, Noah Cloake, Zac Woodcock, Liesje Newland
⭐️ Achievement in Learning - Samuel Shelley
⭐️ Young Carer - Sennen and Hayden Calver
⭐️ Sport and Physical Activity - Matilda Parnell
⭐️ Young Leader - Holly Jenkins

 

 

 

Saxon Weald’s Chief Executive, Steven Dennis, was proud to host the recent awards ceremony evening:

 

“Our Youth Awards is one of my favourite events of the year. It was a privilege to meet our inspiring winners, who I would like to congratulate once again for the contributions they’ve all made to their communities. It was an honour to be part of such a special evening and to celebrate the personal achievements of these incredible young people.”

 

We'd also like to extend a big thank you to Jewson Partnership Solutions who sponsored this year's awards.
