Support for Youth from the Lions

This year’s winner - Abi Hutchinson, sponsored by Shakespeare Lions District CW

The Young Ambassador of the 21st century scheme acknowledges and rewards young people for initiative, inspiration, energy, commitment to community service and to helping others. Apart from the invaluable experience of taking part in the scheme, the successful candidate will receive a silver rose bowl and a bursary to be used in a suitable manner of the candidate’s choosing. Bursaries awarded to winners are – at District level £500, Multi District (UK and Ireland) level £1000, and at Europa Forum 3500 euros.

Finding a suitable candidate should not be too difficult – there are many young people already undertaking outstanding community roles in places such as school, churches, youth organisation (Guides, Scout, Sea Cadets, St. John’s etc), especially helping out the NHS nowadays in a variety of ways. Candidates must have reached their 15th birthday, but not their 19th, on or before 30th June in the year in which the MD final is to be held.

So apart from the bursary, why do Lions get involved and encourage young people to take part? The majority of us will be asked to do presentations at some stage in our lives, we all have to do interviews and promote ourselves, so it’s a great opportunity for the youngsters to practice in a safe environment; meet other like-minded individuals and have a brilliant time. For the Lions, it publicises the youth work Lions are involved in and encourages possible new members.

If you know of a suitable young person then please contact Lion Val Roberts (roberts764@virginmedia. com) of Adur East Lions or phone on 07990515780
