Youth Led National Crimebeat Awards 2020
In 2020 Savera UK Youth secured third prize in the ‘Youth Led’ category of the National Crimebeat Awards. The prestigious award ceremony exists to give recognition to the most innovative and successful crime prevention projects carried out across the UK, with categories celebrating both adult and youth-led work.
Amanda Parker, National Crimebeat Chair, said: “This was well deserved recognition of a very special organisation run by some very special and highly committed young people and of their hard work in support of a very important cause.”
Kusqaum Adam, Former Chair of Savera UK Youth, said: “This means so much to Savera UK Youth as it is our aim to get recognition, spread our message and raise as much awareness as we possibly can. I am thankful that we have been given the opportunity to show our hard work for everyone to see and appreciate.”
