Some of Dartford’s most inspirational young people were presented with a range of awards from a project by Kent County Council at the Bridge 4 Young People.
The Bridge 4 Young People is a youth hub where young people can socialise, and have fun! They have a wide range of activities such as the Dartford Music Hub from Kent Music, and more.
They have an art and music studio where young people can make use of the wide range of facilities such as the pianos and electric guitars.
Dartford Youth Councillors who were also volunteers for the youth hub helped out with the awards ceremony.

The nomination process took place during the summer, and judges decided who would be the winner of each category, such as Music and Art.
Dartford Youth Council Secretary Ricky Taing was the recipient of the Music award, alongside a group of other inspirational individuals from Dartford in different categories.
