The students at St Gregory's Catholic Science College, Harrow, have been instrumental in supporting 150 guests on Sunday afternoons at Ealing Soup kitchen. The pupils have committed hundreds of hours volunteering their time helping out those who are vulnerable and in need of very fundamental assistance. The work is not glamorous or for the faint-hearted. But they give the human touch, meeting, greeting and conversing with the people. Their teacher says that “they represent the very best of their generation and are inspirational leaders”.

Niamh has been part of her school’s Faith in Action group for five years, tirelessly attending weekly meetings and supporting events. She is also part of the Lourdes group, joining the fundraising to ensure all the pupils get there. Niamh has planned and helped to run cake sales, petitioned against social injustice and against homophobic bullying, supported events for CAFOD, Good Shepherd, and Christian Aid. “Winning this award would be amazing for Niamh, because she very often puts herself in the background, this award would be so deserving to let her know just how much everyone thinks of her and the vital work she has done for the community,” says her teacher.

Kelsea is a carer to her mum and younger sister, working hard without any complaint. And Kelsea spends most of her spare time working to help others in her volunteering work in the community. She works at a local youth centre everyday, supporting her peers and community groups. Kelsea is really motivated to help others - in school, in volunteering work and at home. Her chaplain says, “Kelsea would feel humbled by receiving this award as it would also recognise all the people she works with and what they do in the community. I do not think Kelsea fully recognises how influential her role is in her community as helping others and being involved come very naturally to her.”
