We also thank our other sponsors:

The Scarborough Children’s University supported by University of Hull Clock Handyman. The awards will be compered by former Miss Scar- borough and ex-TV presenter Carolyn Hodgson.

The event takes place at Scarborough Rugby Club on Monday April 3 for the nominated young people, their parents and nominees.

The categories are:

Act of Kindness, Charity Helpers, Courage over Physical Adversity, Young Volunteer, Young Entertainer, Special Recognition, plus an extra award, the Max Payne Memorial Award.

Thanks to everyone who made a nomination – the tales we received about the endeavours and deeds of our young people were stunning and all worthy of recognition.
