Two local youth workers have seen their hard work recognised after it was announced that Graeme Johnston and Hollie Watkins of Arran Youth Foundations have been shortlisted for the national youth worker of the year awards.
The pair, both nominated by a pupil from Arran High School, will find out if they are winners at the annual awards night held in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Glasgow on Thursday March 16 and organised by national body Youthlink Scotland.
Hollie is shortlisted in the part-time youth worker category, while AYF’s project manager Graeme has made it to the final three of the full-time category for the second year running.
