FETLOR Youth Club hosted the first FetLor Futures awards ceremony this week celebrating the outstanding achievements of its young members.
At the special event at the charity’s North Edinburgh club house, 23 young people received awards for demonstrating exceptional dedication and commitment across a range of programmes.
The awards were presented by Major General Robin Lindsay CBE, General Officer Scotland, who joined the celebrations to recognise the hard work and achievements of FetLor’s young people.
The young people received completion awards for the club’s Climbing Programme and Outward Bound, while others were recognised with Youth Achievement Awards for their commitment in supporting others. In a significant milestone for the club, two members achieved their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
The awards ceremony marked an important moment in FetLor Youth Club’s 102-year history as it continues in its mission to support young people in Scotland’s capital.
Based in north Edinburgh, FetLor Youth Club is Scotland’s oldest youth club and welcomes around 330 young people each week.
The club provides opportunities and support to help members develop skills that will have a lasting impact as they continue their life’s journey. Since launching the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award programme, the club has enrolled 14 young people in Bronze and Silver Awards, with three candidates working towards their Gold Awards.
Dr Richie Adams, FetLor’s Chief Executive, said: “We are incredibly proud of our members’ achievements over the last year.
“This awards ceremony was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their dedication and the positive impact these programmes have had on our members personal development.
“We can only deliver our services thanks to all those who generously fund our charity. Their support helps our young people achieve their potential.”
Major General Robin Lindsay, a supporter of FetLor for a number of years, added; ”These awards are the outcome. The real benefit is taking part, building resilience and developing confidence.
“All the young people and their families should feel very proud.”
