4Uth award countywide winner announced at celebratory event

Seven young people were celebrated as the district winners of Nottinghamshire County Council’s Outstanding Achievement 4Uth award for 2023 and were honoured at the annual final at County Hall on Friday, 24 November, where the countywide winner was announced.

The 4Uth award is an initiative to celebrate the achievements of young people across the county.

Councillor Tracey Taylor, Cabinet Member for Children and Families, and Council Chairman, Cllr John Ogle, joined approximately 100 guests for the glittering event which is now in its 12th year.

Family and friends of each of the finalists and members of the youth service attended, with videos charting the inspirational stories of all seven young people.

Shayden West, 16, of Ashfield was named the countywide winner for his extensive work in his community focusing on male mental health.  Shayden was nominated by his youth worker.
