Tonight, representatives from our charity had the pleasure of attending the inauguration of the new Youth Mayor, Cian Evans.

It was inspiring to see so many young people committed to making a positive difference in our community. We would like to congratulate Cian on this wonderful achievement and wish him every success during his term as Youth Mayor.
