Josie Bennett, James Hopkins and Lauren Hill, from the Youth Offending Service at North Somerset Council were awarded second prizes of £25. Lauren Hill was nominated for her ‘seamless’ support, often working overtime to ensure vulnerable young people were given the support they needed. Josie was recognised for providing 'invaluable' emotional and practical support to young people on court orders. James led a team of social workers and youth justice officers through the pandemic. He was nominated for providing ‘unwavering support and understanding’ to team members. Deirdre said: “James never stops helping – he works all day and provides support all evening and weekends. I’m not sure James has ever been given any formal recognition for the services he provides for the community so it would be amazing if his invaluable contribution to society could be acknowledged.”
