Mark Smith from Scottish Borders Council’s Community Learning and Development presented youth club members with certificates in Galashiels.

A small presentation of Dynamic Youth Awards at the Focus Centre was made to acknowledge all the hard work they had put into participating in the Galashiels Fancy dress parade. The young people had an opportunity to make all their own costumes helped by a generous contribution from the Focus House Committee who helped to pay for the materials.

Youth workers Kerry Scott, Angela Lamont and Michela Hunt worked alongside the young people with the help of Gillian Jardine also from Community learning and Development.

Mark Smith said: ”It’s great to see the young people get rewarded for all their hard work. Given the appropriate support young people can achieve just about anything”
