Avais Javid has been volunteering with us for the past couple of years, after being involved in our service as a young person & Youth Forum Member.

His enthusiasm, spirit, support and encouragement led to him winning our Volunteer of the Year Award in 2015.  Despite his recent commitment to being a member of the National NHS Youth Forum and also studying nursing at university, Avais continues to volunteer for the Youth Service, inspiring many young people living with health conditions.

This led to Avais being nominated for the Lord Mayor of Nottingham’s Volunteer Awards.

Avais was shortlisted for the award and attended a ceremony on Friday evening at the Council House in Nottingham.  We are excited to announce that Avais beat off stiff competition to scoop the award of ‘Young Volunteer of the Year’
