We’ve received our first nomination in the 2015 Love Barrow Awards Young Citizen of the Year category – Owen Entwistle.
Owen has been helping as a volunteer at the Spring Mount youth clubs and has also has started to help out putting the groundwork in with a clothes bank to be operated under the banner of Walney community trust.
He was so keen to get involved that he stirred his citizenship group into action too and they have sorted clothes, painted walls and are keen to continue volunteering to man the clothes bank once it’s operational.
He volunteered to work on a catering team at a Summer festival and is part of a foster family where he helps out with the many children that become part of the family temporarily.
The nomination form paints a glowing picture of this young man, committed to helping others –
“He is a hard working committed young man who thinks of others needs before his own. He sees things that need to be done and offers to get them done. He has type 2 diabetes but doesn’t let that get on theway of getting involved and is a great role model.”
Owen has been involved with many activities including Walney community trust, Clothes bank, Spring Mount Youth & Soul Survivor.
Owen is always willing and ready to help outon days he isn’t at college and regularly helps out with our younger youths at Spring Mount.
A great nomination, I’m sure you’ll agree, well done Owen.
