Tryangle Awards

Worcestershire Council for Voluntary Youth Services (WCVYS) has launched the eighth annual Tryangle Awards.

The Tryangle Awards, supported in 2013 by Worcester Bosch, are a way of celebrating and recognising the efforts and achievements of young people from across Worcestershire. The Tryangle Awards are unique to Worcestershire as they put into the spotlight many young people who are so often unsung heroes and recognise the hard work and value that young people bring to their communities.

In launching the Awards WCVYS manager Phil Street said that ‘The Tryangle Awards are about recognising and celebrating effort; we are not only celebrating the high fliers, but we want to applaud the real triers too. Amongst the young people who received an award last year was someone that had cared for sick parents, a young person who had turned their life around after being in trouble with the police and a group of young people from a hospice who, despite some severe health issues, had been trained so they could ensure young people at the hospice had a voice about what is important to them’. Phil said that ‘Every young person nominated will receive a certificate to show that his or her efforts have been recognised’.

Nominations have to be for young people aged from 11 to 19 and up to 24 for young people with a disability. Nominations are welcomed from anybody who has an involvement with young people - teachers, youth workers, care workers, sports coaches, volunteers, family and friends are all welcome to acknowledge the efforts made by young people. Nominations must be made online by visiting.

Nominations close on Friday 15th February 2013.  Please see the attached leaflet for full details of the Tryangle Awards.
