The South Ayrshire Youth Forum Awards took place on 6th December in Troon. GYT had 3 young people and 2 groups nominated under different categories (Citizenship, Unsung Hero, Digital Media & Art, Democracy and Community Involvement).
The Youth Participatory Budgeting Group from GYT were the only ones lucky enough to win their category (Democracy), however, we are very proud of our young people for getting to the final and for the hard work and commitment they show in their volunteering roles with Girvan Youth Trust.
