Last year I went to a brilliant awards night in South Liverpool called Celebrating Success. We were celebrating achievement by children and young people across our area.
This March will see another ceremony and the organisers are looking for nominations. The deadline is 28th January so its a bit tight but there is still time to nominate a person or a group.
