Harrogate youngster Andrew Huband has been presented with the 'Young Citizen Award' by the Rotary Club of Harrogate.
St. Aidan’s Church of England High School Year 7 student Andrew Huband is proud to have been awarded the Young Citizen Award by the Rotary Club of Harrogate this week.
He was nominated by St. Aidan’s CE High School, who encourage all students to embrace ‘Life in all its fullness’’.
Andrew has been working as the school's Chair of Harrogate Youth Council and has been busy inspiring and mobilising young people to make a difference.
Working closely with North Yorkshire County Council Youth Parliament, he has been addressing key issues that affect young people today with a view to improving the lives of young people in the community.
Chris Whapples, President of the Rotary Club of Harrogate visited St Aidan’s this week to present the award to Andrew in front of his Year 7 classmates in their school assembly.
When asked how he felt about this moment Andrew replied:
“I’m proud to receive this award. A lot of credit must go to my fellow youth councillors who all work hard”
Ann Percival, Club Secretary for the Rotary Club of Harrogate and Chair of the Youth Committee, stated that they were so impressed with eleven-year-old Andrew, they have put him forward for the National award.
Out of all the nominations they received the things that stood out for them were his ‘outstanding leadership, advocacy and passion for creating a brighter future’.
St. Aidan’s Church of England High School is part of the Yorkshire Causeway Schools Trust whose mission is ‘Ambition, Learning and Enrichment for All’ – Andrew is a shining example of these values.
When asked what he would like to do when he grows up, he replied:
“I don’t have a particular job in mind; however I want to stand up for what I believe in.”
