Judges have selected Emerge Youth Ambassadors, Georgia Taylor and Michelle Hammond. Emerge Youth Ambassadors is made up of a group of young people who meet weekly after school, looking at ways they could help improve their community. The group fundraised for a defibrillator which has been used 10 times. Emerge also arranged litter picks in their local area, bringing together people of all ages to make the area cleaner. Throughout lockdown the group has helped with The Sutton Centre pack food parcels, collect donations and sort it for families coming to pick up their package. Their nominator said: “Their most recent event was a pumpkin carving festival for families during half term which they planned, including making it COVID safe. This was enjoyed by over 30 families in the BD4 area at a time when nothing else was happening.
