Council invites nominations to recognise outstanding young people
11th March 2025
Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is inviting nominations for individuals and teams from the District to be recognised at its annual Young Achievers’ Reception.
The Young Achievers’ event, which is hosted annually by the Chair and Vice Chair of the Council, recognises young people aged 18 years and under who have attained a significant achievement.
Nominations will be accepted for achievements in a range of categories including, but not limited to, sport, public service, charity / volunteering, heroism, art, drama, dance, agriculture and equestrian. The achievement must be obtained between 01 April 2024 and 31 March 2025.
Speaking about the Young Achievers’ recognition, Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor John McClaughry, said
“The Young Achievers’ event is one of the highlights of the year for the Chair and Vice Chair as it is an opportunity to recognise the positive contribution that our young people make to our District.
Our young people are regularly gaining achievements and undertaking great work which often goes unnoticed. It is important for us to recognise them and give them encouragement as they could inspire others, helping to ensure that our District continues to be a great place to live in the future.
I would encourage everyone to nominate a young person or team whom they feel deserves to be recognised.”
The nominee must be resident of and the team must be located within the Fermanagh and Omagh District. There will be a shortlisting process and successful nominees will be invited to a reception which will be held in May 2025.
The closing date for nominations is 5pm on Wednesday 09 April 2025.
