Young Achievers and Good Citizen Awards 2023

Published: 20 December 2023

A massive congratulations to our 2023 Good Citizen, Good Citizen Group and Young Achievers Award winners!

It was a difficult decision to make from all the fantastic entries for people doing amazing things in our town.

Good Citizen Awards were presented to Paul Beal for his work in recruiting defibrillator guardians to monitor CPADs, and Barbara Buckley for helping to improve the lives of many elderly and lonely people in Horsforth through the Monday Lunch Club amongst other initiatives.

Good Citizen Groups Awards went to Horsforth Sports Club Association Committee for the community work they do in Horsforth, and Horsforth in Bloom in recognition of the community work you do in Horsforth.

Finally, Finlay and Fergus Smith were both awarded the 2023 Young Achiever Award for their achievements representing the Junior GB squad at the IFMA World Muay Thai Championships.

Chairman of Horsforth Town Council Cllr Simon Dowling, with a little help from Ronnie the Rhino, Santa Claus and Leeds Rhinos players Sam Lisone and Justin Sangaré, lead the presentations to the award winners at the Christmas Lights Switch-on event on 2 December. Congratulations again to all the winners and nominees.
