Bexhill Lions Club is seeking nominations for its “Young Achiever Award”, which recognises,
encourages and supports young people who are actively involved in their community. Candidates could be involved in helping young or old people, those with disabilities, those that are disadvantaged, or they may be involved in projects in conservation, healthier living, crime prevention, fundraising or any other voluntary initiatives. The Award is open to individuals who have reached their 15th birthday but have not reached their 19th birthday on or before 30th June 2020, and who live in Bexhill. Lion President Andrea Etheridge said “This award gives the youngsters the true recognition they deserve. The competition encourages young people to seek experience in community involvement and to develop new skills. It also provides an opportunity to broaden their awareness of the local community and the voluntary sector and recognise the value of their commitment and achievement. It also provides an opportunity to highlight the charities and volunteer groups with which they are associated.” The Bexhill winner will receive an award of £100 to further their chosen project. There is then an opportunity for the winner to compete in the Lions’ Young Ambassador Competition. The winner of the South East round will receive a £500 bursary and then compete in the UK Final where the winner will receive a further £1,000. The closing date for nominations is 30th August 2019.
