H&F youth councillors at the Youth Achievement Awards in 2019
Do you know an amazing young person who's exceeded expectations or gone above and beyond for others this year?
Cllr Trey Campbell-Simon, H&F's lead councillor for youth advancement, said: "We have so many talented, hardworking and generous young people living in H&F. Now's your time to celebrate and shout about their achievements. Nominate them for a Youth Achievement Award today."
This year's award ceremony is being organised entirely by the H&F Youth Council and Young Hammersmith & Fulham Foundation – with help from any young resident who wants to get involved.
Nominees must be aged between 11 to 25 years old, and live, work or go to school in H&F. Their nomination must relate to an achievement from the last two years, 2021-2023.
