Young people who make a positive difference could be in line for a new Youth Award from North Walsham Town Council.

The council wants to recognise a young resident, up to age 18, who has shown 'outstanding achievement; an act of selflessness or dedication; made a significant contribution to the quality of life for an individual or their local community'.

Any individual, school, college, youth group or charity, can nominate a youngster. Application forms are available from: Mrs. M Foster, town clerk, Youth Award, North Walsham Town Council, New Road, North Walsham, NR28 9ED. The closing date is March 31.
