Awards will put young people in the spotlight

The Angus Promise Awards organised, by Angus Council and the Angus Promise Team, will take place in the Webster Theatre on Friday, May 3.

The awards are now open for local people, teachers, social workers, carers, family members, friends and the children/young people themselves to nominate those in the county aged five and above, or who are looked after by another local authority but living in Angus.

Councillor Lynne Devine, Family, Education and Justice convener, said: "Recognising the achievements of our care-experienced children and young people at this award ceremony isn't just about handing out trophies and certificates; it's about celebrating resilience, determination, and the incredible journeys of these individuals.

“I encourage everyone to nominate deserving candidates and join us in shining a spotlight on their accomplishments."
