My Story Matters: Recognising Pembrokeshire’s Extraordinary Youth
Saturday 16th September saw the Youth Awards Pembs recognize 39 outstanding young individuals for their bravery, courage, and resilient personalities from all across Pembrokeshire.
Our team of judges had the almost impossible task of shortlisting nominated individuals who
were invited with their friends and family to attend our youth recognition evening, held at
Haverfordwest High VC School. The night was hosted by a trio of inspiring young individuals, Noah Pooley, Logan Coombes, and Calli Turner, who presented ten particular young achievers with awards spanning ten different categories.
The award categories ranged from the ‘Young Entrepreneur Award’ (presented to Jessica Kenniford and supported by Ascona Foundation), to the ‘Wales’ Shining Star Award’ (presented to Myles Evans with the support of Oakwood Theme
Park).
Alongside our awards presentations, distinguished speakers from Church Army and Action For Children, Lyn Edwards (one of our judges), and Noah Pooley (one of the evening's hosts),
shared their insights and words of encouragement, underscoring the importance of nurturing
young talent and recognising their achievements.
Their presence and words resonated deeply with the audience, leaving an indelible mark on the evening.
Additionally, the event showcased the remarkable musical talents of Eliza (harpist) and Jencyn (pianist) who provided enchanting
entertainment for all of this year's guests.
This year's youth awards were supported by a number of local businesses, namely Whitestone
Media Group, Folly Farm, Ascona Foundation, Church Army, and Oakwood Theme Park. Action
For Children, a children's charity created to support the most vulnerable young people across
the UK, also played a big part in supporting this year's youth recognition evening, and we were
lucky to have a few of its representatives join us for the evening, and help present the
‘Overcoming Adversity Award’.
All of the Youth Awards Pembs team would like to express their sincerest appreciation for the tremendous support they receive this year, making it possible to bring together a wide range of inspirational young people from all over Pembrokeshire.
