Daventry Celebrates Rose of Northamptonshire Awards.
Today we celebrate one of our younger volunteers.

We’re absolutely delighted to share that Sian has been awarded with the Rose of Northamptonshire Award – and what a truly well-deserved recognition it is.

Sian has made an incredible impact through her volunteering with our New Street Community Café, Help to Work project, and as a Young Person Ambassador for the NextGen Careers Hub. From supporting others to grow in confidence, supporting local events through to bringing joy to our café, she consistently goes above and beyond to make a difference.

Sian also gives her time mentoring with The Bridge and supported the local food larder – always showing kindness, compassion, and dedication to others.

She is an inspiration to so many and a fantastic example of the amazing young people in our community.

Congratulations Sian – we are incredibly proud of you!
