Nomination period extended for the Mayor’s Youth Awards

Mayor's Youth Awards 2019

The nomination period for the Mayor’s Youth Awards has been extended, giving you more time to shout about the borough’s young superstars.

The awards, organised by Rochdale Youth Service, have been running for a decade and they celebrate the achievements, contributions and developments of young people across the borough of Rochdale. This is a great opportunity to recognise the many young people that have done wonderful things in their community during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The awards team is looking for nominations that recognise young people who have made a real difference to the people in their lives, whether it’s through work in the community, sporting achievement or commitment to their friends and family. These are the unsung heroes who do special things to help others or, through their talent and ability, set a great example to other young people about what is possible by working hard and achieving success.

Anyone can nominate a young person who lives in the borough aged 11 to 19, or up to 25 if they have a disability. Nominations must now be received by midnight on Friday 25 February.

The winners will be selected by young people who attend youth service clubs and nominees will be invited to the award ceremony on Monday 21 March at Middleton Arena.
