Sydney Gigner-Hollies was nominated by Vicky Williams, Brown Owl at 4th Sale Central Guides, for The High Sheriff of Greater Manchester Young Citizen of the Year Award. Vicky nominated Sydney for her vital support and contribution to the leadership team throughout the pandemic. In Sydney’s own words “I love volunteering, befriending the children and guiding them to be better people” “I am often asked to assist with church events, where I give my time to the parish community, helping the elderly members of the church”.

She received, along with 13 other finalists, an engraved award, a certificate and a cheque. This was presented on stage at the University of Bolton by The High Sheriff of Greater  Manchester, Diane Hawkins.

 We are so proud of Sydney and would love to share her achievement with the parish.
