Paddy Duffy Award 2018

The Paddy Duffy Award was established in 2002 by the principal officers of Boys & Girls Clubs to support the values, style and approach of Paddy Duffy – a much loved and highly regarded voluntary youth leader and vice-president of Boys & Girls Clubs.

Paddy epitomised many of the personal qualities that are characteristic of good youth workers and fair play for all.

This year’s recipient of the Paddy Duffy Award is Cliodhna Liggett from Newtownabbey. Cliodhna has spent six years on the Youth Council which emphasises leadership and is ran by young people like Cliodhna to represent the views of young people to government and decision-makers and to promote participation of young people in society.

Cliodhna will use the Paddy Duffy Award bursary to help continue her education by paying towards fees.

 

Presentation of Awards 2018

Boys & Girls Clubs would like to send a big congratulations to all the young people who received awards and certificates at our Presentation of Awards during last nights AGM.

It was a fantastic night recognising and celebrating young people across Northern Ireland’s participation and achievements throughout a diverse range of projects and programmes including our CycleWise programme, Youth Council and Leadership Development program.

During the year we reached 14,568 young people and volunteers and it was great to hear some stories about the impact Boys & Girls has on our young people as well as taking some time to celebrate all their achievements and hard work they have put into activities they are interested in.
