A message from the High Sheriff of Lancashire
One of the highlights of my year as High Sheriff so far has been meeting young people who are doing much needed work to make a positive impact in their communities, I am proud to say that there are so many examples across the whole of Lancashire.
It is my privilege to launch the 2025 High Sheriff of Lancashire’s Young Citizen’s Award and it is time to find, recognise and appreciate what young people are doing across our County.
The High Sheriff of Lancashire’s Young Citizen Awards aims to reward outstanding individuals and to encourage others to follow suit.
Do you know a young person or group of young people under the age of 19 who have made a real difference to the lives of others? If so, please let us have your nominations by Friday 24th January 2025, at the latest. The winners and the runners up will be selected by a panel of judges (chaired by the High Sheriff) and comprising representatives from LANPAC, Lancashire Constabulary, the University of Central Lancashire, and Rodney Swarbrick CBE DL a former High Sheriff who initiated this awards scheme.
All finalists will be invited to attend a presentation at Lancashire Constabulary Headquarters in February 2025 when the winner will receive £300 together with a specially commissioned trophy and certificate from the High Sheriff. There will also be two runners up who will each receive £100 and a certificate.
The scheme is administered by the Lancashire Partnership Against Crime (LANPAC) on behalf of the High Sheriff and any further information may be obtained from a member of the LANPAC Team.
I look forward to receiving your nominations and hearing about individuals and groups across Lancashire who are worthy of recognition and appreciation.
With best wishes,
Helen Bingley OBE DL JP
High Sheriff of Lancashire
