I was delighted to join the Mayor of Wolverhampton Councillor Craig Collingwood and the mayoress, his daughter Abby for the Wolverhampton Young Citizen of the Year Rotary awards.
The Awards Ceremony took place in the Chancellor’s Hall of the University of Wolverhampton and was compered by Mel Eves. It was truly inspiring to hear about the ten young people who had been shortlisted for the award and how they are contributing to their communities in a diverse range of activities.
We were also treated to a speech by one of Wolverhampton’s own, Dr Willard Wigan MBE who recounted his own journey from a difficult childhood growing up with undiagnosed autism to becoming a world renowned micro sculptor.
