Thanet’s most inspirational youngsters will have their achievements recognised at the 2008 Try Angle Awards ceremony on Thursday.

The awards, which were established in 1995, will be held at Margate Winter Gardens on June 19.

They recognise the efforts of young people aged 10-18, with awards for bravery, personal achievement in the arts, music and sport, good friends and young carers, citizenship and environment, service to the community and personal development.

Mike Hill, cabinet member for community services at Kent County Council, said: “Each year, the Try Angle Awards bring together young people with incredible stories to tell and the ceremonies are a real highlight in the calendar.

“It is vital that we recognise and pay tribute to the youngsters in Kent who work so hard, sometimes in the face of adversity.

“I am looking forward to hearing their stories once again.”

The Try Angle Foundation, which is chaired by North Thanet MP Roger Gale, aims to recognise the achievements of children at every school, youth centre and club.

The awards were launched across Kent in 2001 and culminate in a countywide celebration of the best entries received at the annual Spirit of Try Angle Awards.
