Connexions held an energizing awards ceremony and party at the Sir Phillip Game Centre, in Croydon at the beginning of this month.

The event was held in recognition of the huge contribution the young people of south London have made over the years to the Connexions service across six boroughs - Bromley, Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond and Sutton.

A number of young people made presentations which included their involvement with Mystery Shopping, designing marketing literature and their work on the Shadow Youth Board.

The evening's awards were hosted by Charles Fisher, former vice chair of the Shadow Board from Bromley and Chris Fullbrook, chair of the Shadow Board from Kingston.
