Tryangle Awards 2012

WCVYS in partnership with Worcestershire Youth Service are launching the

THE 2012 TRYANGLE AWARDS

CELEBRATE ACHIEVEMENT- NOMINATE A YOUNG PERSON FOR A TRYANGLE AWARD

Young people do some remarkable things and too often this goes without recognition. Tryangle Awards are for young people who have achieved, but their achievement has gone unnoticed. Those unsung heroes who get on with life and face the odds, never receiving acclaim or credit.

We’d like you to put forward a young person or group of young people who you believe deserve to have their accomplishment celebrated.

You’ve got until Friday 17th February 2012 to send in your nominations for a Tryangle Award. There are eight award categories, so come on and take a look at the Tryangle Awards brochure and make your nominations.

The Awards Evening is being held at Worcester Warriors Rugby Club on Thursday 29th March 2012.

Just take a moment to look around you or pause for that moment’s thought and identify that young person whose efforts, skills or perseverance merits that Award. Nominate now.
