NOMINATIONS are now open for the Yorkshire Children of Courage Awards (YCCA), which celebrates the achievements of young people who have succeeded in the face of adversity.
In aid of the St James’s Place Charitable Foundation, the awards – now in their tenth year – will be held on Friday, October 14 at New Dock Hall, Leeds.
It includes categories for children aged between 0 and 12 and young adults aged 13 to 18.
Ewan Dowes, of St James’s Place Charitable Foundation, said: “We are delighted the awards are now recommencing after a short break due to the pandemic.
"These awards are tremendously important in recognising and applauding the children and young adults who are so deserving of proper recognition.
“We are again excited to be hosting this year’s award ceremony with support from our sponsors, whose commitment to these awards has been unfaltering over the last ten years.
“This year we are pleased to welcome Boodles to our family of sponsors, and we’re sure they will agree the award ceremony promises to be a sensational evening”.
