On the hunt for young heroes
PEOPLE are being called on to nominate young local heroes with inspiring stories who have made a positive impact on the lives of others.
The Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards 2014 will reward 11-26-year-olds from across the Highlands for their good deeds, with the closing date for nominations on February 18.
Three finalists from each of the 11 categories from sport, arts and health to enterprise, heritage and volunteering will be selected and invited to the awards ceremony in the SECC Glasgow Arena on April 10.
Louise Macdonald, chief executive of Young Scot, said: “If you know a friend, someone in your youth group, brother, neighbour or any youngster you think has worked hard to improve the lives of others, we’re urging you not to let their amazing achievements go unheard.”
Last year’s overall winner was Jess Ryan, 22, from Inverness who scooped the award for her courage in overcoming sexual abuse and neglect in her upbringing to help other vulnerable young people like her.
