Jennifer Goodwin, a student at Sackville School, gained recognition for her work in the community when she won the Tonbridge Lions Young Ambassador Award competition last week.
The judges were particularly impressed by the range of Jennifer's
work. She has raised £600 in a sponsored run for charity, helped at an after
school club and is part of a team raising money to build a school in
Africa. Jennifer is donating her £100
prize money to Mind, the mental health charity for which she is planning to
volunteer.
Rebecca
Fletcher, the runner up from Hillview School, is donating her £50 to the Scotts
Project, a local charity helping people with learning disabilities.
As
a result of her victory, Jennifer will now represent Tonbridge Lions Club in
the SE District competition on 25th November.
