Speaking about the awards, Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire, Jennifer, Lady Gretton said: “I feel that much of this achievement goes unnoticed by the wider community, when all too often we hear of examples that portray young people in a negative light. It was in part for this reason that I wanted to do what I could to raise awareness of the positive contributions made by young people.
