Sunderland Young Achievers Award – Winner!!!

We are delighted that Sam Ogle won the Overall Winner and the individual winner of the Personal Achievement in the 8 to 13 category, of the Sunderland Young Achievers Award!

Sam lives with cerebral palsy and despite the personal challenges he faces every day, we are constantly in awe of the positive and resilient attitude he shows every day. During lockdown, Sam took part in a range of challenges set by us and blew his teachers and peers away with his creativity. He’s also the coach of his school’s football team and volunteers with coaching in his own time. Keen to spread his positivity even further, Sam recently raised over £1,000 for a local children’s hospital with a read-a-thon.

We nominated Sam as he is a prime example to everyone of being the best we can be, having ambition, and doing everything possible to fulfil dreams.

Sam always has a big smile on his face and is an inspiration to all who have the pleasure of meeting him.
