Tinchy Stryder Calls for Nominations for the Vinspired National Awards
Musician Tinchy Stryder has opened the floor for nominations for the Vinspired National Awards, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the positive contributions of young people. He urges the public to nominate young individuals, aged 16-25, or youth workers of any age, who are making significant impacts in their communities. The finalists will be celebrated at a prestigious awards ceremony in London in March 2012.
Tinchy Stryder’s own career was launched at an event organized by young volunteers at Bigga Fish, highlighting the transformative power of volunteering for young people. He expressed gratitude to these volunteers during his visit to launch the award nominations.
Tinchy said: “I’m proud to launch the nominations for the Vinspired National Awards. Young people often receive negative press, but the contributions they make as volunteers are truly remarkable and deserve to be recognized. By nominating outstanding volunteers, we can showcase what young people have to offer and inspire more to engage in volunteering.”
Nominations must be for voluntary work conducted between August 2010 and July 2011, and nominees must reside in England. The nomination period closes on November 30, 2011.
