ASN Open Group Gold Award Celebration 2023
Having completed their DofE Award last year, this close-knit group attended the Award presentation celebrations at Holyrood to receive their Gold Awards, completing their DofE journey.
Kayleigh was front and centre at the event, giving a speech on her DofE journey and hopes for the future of the Award for young people with ASN. In the audience of over 1,000 attendees was the Duke of Edinburgh CEO Ruth Marvel, dignitaries from Scottish councils and other youth organisations.
‘It was lovely to all be able to celebrate altogether as a full team, it was an amazing experience that we will all remember for a lifetime’
– Kayleigh
We could not be more proud of their achievements, they truly are an extraordinary team. We will remain in contact with them all and eagerly follow their progress, offering our support where we can. They continue to provide us with invaluable advice on promoting participation and engaging ASN young people with Starfish Way and DofE.
Kate Sommervail has been an exceptional leader to this group and an expert source of advice and support to the Association. We would love to personally thank Kate Sommervail for her exceptional leadership and dedication of the group!
Not only is Kayleigh our Ambassador and Social Media Apprentice, but she also played a key role in the consultation process for a new Girls Group and is now looking forward to being involved with its design and delivery. There is no end to her talents!
It is our mission to improve the lives of young people.
We do this by offering bespoke activities and awards for young people aged 13-25, giving them the skills and confidence they need to succeed in life.
