Nominations for outstanding Moray youth workers encouraged for national awards

YOUTH workers and volunteers in Moray are being encouraged to nominate outstanding individuals for Scotland's National Youth Work Awards.

Scotland's National Agency for Youth Work is looking for the very best individuals in Moray for the awards which will take place next year.

Each of the 12 categories for the 2022 awards will see three finalists chosen with the winners being presented with their award on the night of the ceremony in March.

Tim Frew, Chief Executive of YouthLink Scotland, said:

"The role that youth workers and volunteers play throughout the Moray area is invaluable. Youth work in Scotland positively engages with more than 300,000 young people on a regular basis, helping them to fulfill their potential through a series of challenging and exciting opportunities, building essential life skills, confidence and resilience.

"Youth workers have a unique relationship with young people, a partnership that gives them inner strength, belief and resolve. Youth work make a significant contribution to every community and we know from research that youth work positively changes the lives of thousands of young people every year."

The deadline for nominations is Friday, November 12. The 14th National Youth Work Awards Dinner will take place on Thursday March 17, 2022 in Glasgow.
