Danielle Ward, who supports North Edinburgh Young People’s Forum, said: “Unfortunately there are just to many nominations for me to name them all, if my memory serves me correctly there was between 200-250 individual nominations made this year!”
Well done to you all!
NB: Danielle is still awaiting the pictures from this year’s event. We’ll share when we have them!
