Here are this years Citizen of the Year Over 18s category Will Horsley, Ronnie Fraser and Mark Burdon - were all nominated by Geoff Cork for showing their commitment to keeping our Parish clean and tidy. They are very often seen in and around the parish picking up loads of rubbish, which has been left. They do this off their own back. Under 18s category Taylor Farrington aged 11 was nominated by his mother Jacky - Earlier this year, just before lent Taylor, off his own back came up to his mother and said he wanted to do something different for lent, and wanted to raise money for a local, small charity, he spent some time searching the internet and he came up with St Cuthberts Hospice who help people with life limiting illnesses. Taylor spent the time of lent raising as much money as he could and he did this by donating his pocket money, he designed a flyer and posted it through neighbours letterboxes, he baked goodies to sell in school, and after a donation from where his mother works, he ended up raising almost £730 for the charity, which is quite amazing. A firefighter from Framwelgate moor fire station saw his achievements in the local advertiser and invited him to the fire station and together they delivered another £100 which was raised from the fire crew to donate to Taylors efforts making a new total of £830. This is an amazing and selfless act for a young boy to do, and just shows that there are some good kids out there who are keen to help the less fortunate amongst us. Special award This has gone to the children and teachers at the Hermitage School for helping with litter picks, planting up the flower bed and wanting to be actively involved in the Parish. Well done to them all, they will be receiving their award on 25 November at our award evening.
