THE need to invest in our young people is illustrated wonderfully by the recipients of the first Swindon Youth Awards.
At a time when teenagers receive a lot of bad publicity, it is a pleasure to highlight the incredible stories of those attending the ceremony.
Many have shown bravery under difficult personal circumstances. Others have shown selflessness in their commitment to help others.
They should all be proud of their contribution to our community.
