The 2023 Awards took place on Tuesday 07/03/2023
Orla Hawkins
Highly Commended | Good Relations Community Champion Award

Orla formed a group of young people from the Ardoyne/New Lodge area and Shankill area in Belfast City who meet each week to build relations and trust amongst each other. Orla provided a space where children come from these areas to share their living experiences and build friendship through team outings and in-house discussions.
She is currently looking into how she could continue to extend this programme further with this young group.
