A dedicated youth worker from North Ayrshire was honoured with the National Outdoor Learning and Environment Award at the National Youth Work Awards 2024.
He has also championed outdoor expeditions, identifying exciting outdoor activities like mountain-climbing and orienteering, and is always on the look-out for more ways that he can harness the power of youth work to give back to local communities. His colleague and nominator Donna Anderson, Youth Participation and Democracy lead was delighted at Ross’s win for the outdoor learning category."Ross is North Ayrshire’s very own mountain man and he is so driven and passionate about helping young people to conquer their barriers.
"There were so many inspirational people at the ceremony, it was amazing just to be sitting alongside them and listening to their stories.
