Dundee Active Schools have announced the short-listed Nominees for the Active Schools Volunteer Awards 2019 which will be held at the Apex Hotel on Saturday 18th May. The Active Schools Volunteer night aims to recognise and reward the contribution that volunteers make to school sport.
James Fenna, Dundee Active Schools Manager said
"Volunteers play a vital role in providing school sport opportunities across schools in Dundee and without the time, energy and commitment of these people, many wider opportunities such as competitive school sport competitions, sports clubs and coaching sessions would simply not be able to run. In short, volunteers make it happen.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all volunteers who willingly give up their time to enable others to play sport. We would like to thank the successful nominees and category winners as well as the people who have taken the time to nominate.
The awards event will be hosted by our Young Ambassadors, inspiring us all with their achievements and talents. Young people will tell their stories about challenges and success they have had in school sport. They will also compere the evening of events and recognise the people who go above and beyond to make sport happen across Dundee Schools.
A special thanks to our sponsors who make this event possible. We greatly value their support and recognise the impact this makes to acknowledging sport in schools."
