Eastleigh Youth Awards
Acknowledging the work of young volunteers in the community
Every year we seek nominations for our annual Youth Awards, a special acknowledgment of the voluntary work carried out by young people between the ages of 11 and 18.
These awards are supported by Eastleigh Lions and One Community and are awarded to recognise those young people who regularly give up their time to help others. From helping older people, being a carer for family or friends and fundraising for a good cause to taking a role in an organisation like the Scouts or helping in school, their support is invaluable.
Young people can be nominated for either a gold or silver award.
A gold award is for at least 100 hours of volunteering in the previous 12 months (from date of nomination).
A silver award is for at least 50 hours of volunteering in the previous 12 months (from date of nomination).
