The Young Carers Development Trust would like to offer an enormous congratulations to beneficiary Kerry McKenzie, whose many talents include Sessional Youth Worker Kerry McKenzie for Youth Action Wiltshire, who has received a special recognition award for her excellent achievements at the National Citizen Service (NCS) Awards 2018.
From the Youth Action Wiltshire's Newsletter:
Kerry was referred to Youth Action Wiltshire's NCS programme in 2015 by Wiltshire Young Carers. Since graduating from NCS, Kerry returned as an Ambassador for Youth Action Wiltshire, helping other young people between the ages of 15-17 years.
This summer, Kerry was a Team Leader for Youth Action Wiltshire helping to lead our NCS teams and has once again gone above and beyond in her work. Thanks to Kerry’s on-going commitment and determination for social justice and equality, she is a beacon of hope for the future generations. Kerry is a role model for all of our current Ambassadors and young people who are inspired to follow in her footsteps and everyone at Youth Action Wiltshire is incredibly proud of her.
Owing to her great achievements, Kerry was nominated for the NCS Graduate of the Year award this year and NCS have recognised her work and provided Kerry with a Special Recognition Award.
Kerry attended the NCS ceremony on Saturday the 1st of September held at Gloucester Cathedral. Kerry is now studying at Birmingham University, we wish her all the very best.
