Irena Sendler Young Person Award
Newark and Sherwood District Council and Newark Town Council have launched the Irena Sendler Young Person Award.
The award scheme is open to all Newark and Sherwood schools and welcomes nominations for young people who have supported, assisted and helped others who are less fortunate than themselves. This could be an act of kindness to help someone else or getting involved in an initiative or activity to improve the physical, emotional and psychological of others in need of support.
The scheme will recognise one Primary and one Secondary school winner from the Newark area and likewise from the Sherwood area. Each winner will receive a voucher and certificate, and the nominating school will also receive a contribution of £125 towards learning resources.
Each school can nominate up to two students.
The Award will open for nominations on Irena Sendler’s birthday on 15th February 2025.
More information including application forms and eligibility criteria will be available soon. Keep checking back here for updates.
