A very large audience attended the North Edinburgh Youth Awards Ceremony last Thursday night (writes James McGinty).
This turned out to be a credit to the youth of North Edinburgh, who go quietly about their business in their communities. Muirhouse Community Centre’s main interest in the Awards lay in the 12—21’s Young Volunteer Of the Year with a young man who has distinguished himself on more than one front in volunteering in the 12—21’s Young Volunteer Of The Year Category.
Chris Barnes from Muirhouse Millennium Centre won this category with the Runner –Up prize going to Dominik Zakrocki.
Our centre achieved Runner’s Up in the Under 12’s Youth Organisation of the Year to Royston Wardieburn Community Centre. Our Prize was collected by young Connor representing Young Volunteers at our Centre.
Credit must go to the organisation of the event by the excellent North Edinburgh Young People’s Forum, who delivered and compered the night with three of their young Judges.
