New Garda awards to honour young people
MEMBERS of the public are being invited to make nominations for the inaugural County Wexford Garda Youth Awards.
Held in association with Wexford County Council, the awards are aimed at young people throughout County Wexford between the ages of 11 and 21 who will be recognised for their positive work and contributions. They were launched last week in County buildings
Nominations can be made for people who have made and continue to make amazing contributions to their local community. Some may have excelled in sports, while others may have overcome adversity, be it serious illness or personal difficulty. Other young people may have given their own time to help others or makes their community or school a better place.
The awards gives people an opportunity to give these young people the recognition that they fully deserve. To nominate somebody, you must fill and submit a form by Monday January 16 2017. Nomination forms are available by emailing john.j.cleary@ garda.ie or neil.b.murphy@garda.ie or by contacting Garda Paul Buckley, Gorey Garda Station at 053-9430690.
Nomination forms are also available from any Garda Station in County Wexford or by downloading the form from the Garda website www.garda.ie. Group entries of two or more young persons will also be considered. Full details of the scheme and rules are outlined on the nomination form.
