The achievements of the young people who work with the Trent Bridge Community Trust have been praised at the Trust’s annual awards evening.

The event was held at Trent Bridge cricket ground and attended by young people and their parents, as well as local councillors and the Mayor of Rushcliffe, Councillor Maureen Stockwood.

A previous YouNG Ambassador, Jack Osborn, demonstrated how integral the programme can be in developing young people by putting in a flawless performance as Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

The YouNG Project helps local young people aged 13 to 21 prepare for work through experience, advice and support.

Many of our YouNG entrepreneurs and performers have stalls or shows at Christmas markets in the region.
