Youth Excellence Awards 2016

The Youth Excellence Awards took place on Friday 24th June in Llandudno, North Wales and was a fantastic experience.  We won the Youth Excellence Award for most outstanding young person led project in Wales!  To think our school transport project has proved to be a significant piece of work where we have represented the voices of young people in the Vale to a variety of decision-makers is a great achievement of which we are extremly proud of.  To have this recognised on a national level, at the Welsh Government Youth Excellence Awards 2016 is an honour!   

It was wonderful to see so many inspirational young people and youth work projects being recognised for their achievements across Wales and to celebrate Youth Work Week in Wales.  The venue was amazing, the food was delicious and the young people who performed at the event were sooooo good!!  Also a massive congratulations to the Right's Ambassadors and Cadoxton Regeneration Project for representing the Vale and being shortlisted for another two fantastic awards; outstanding rights youth work project and outstanding arts and media project.  What a lovely evening!
