A Derry teenager has been named as one of 20 finalists in the Pramerica Spirit of Community Awards, an all Ireland recognition programme for outstanding young volunteers.
Gareth Connor, a year 14 pupil at Foyle College, was nominated for his services to Institute Football Club’s Youth Academy and Mini Soccer Programme over the past five years.
Gareth will receive a €500 award and an engraved medal.
Gareth and his parents will attend a gala awards dinner at Lough Eske Castle in Donegal on 26 March when two All-Ireland Youth Volunteers of the Year will be named.
They will each receive €1,000 for a charity of their choice, a gold medallion and an all-expenses paid trip to the United States in May to participate in the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards ceremony.
