The hard work of 11 of the island’s young people was recently recognised at a special ceremony at Holyrood House in Edinburgh where they were presented with their gold Duke of Edinburgh awards and had the chance to meet Prince Philip.
The group earned their awards through the Foundry, Broadway Baptist Church’s youth programme. Co-ordinator John Harris said: ‘This is a great achievement, which each young person can be proud of, it shows dedication and determination.’
