Nominations open for LiNCHigher Service Child Awards to recognise achievements of children from military families in Lincolnshire
Nominations are now open for an award that recognises the achievements of children from military families in the county.
The LiNCHigher Service Child Awards celebrates young people who have demonstrated outstanding courage, whether through excelling in art or sport or making a positive impact in their community.
People can elect kids in any of Lincolnshire primary and secondary schools as well as those in organisations that support service children.
Jessica McNeill, community events and projects officer at LiNCHigher, said “These awards honour the unique challenges that Service Children face, such as moving schools and adapting to changes quickly.
“Winning a Service Child Award is not just about recognising academic or extracurricular success but about acknowledging their adaptability, perseverance, and community spirit.”
An awards ceremony will take place on Friday, April 25, from 12.30pm to 2.30pm at Bishop Grosseteste University, in Lincoln, where there will be a military band performance and a buffet lunch.
“For the students who receive these awards, it’s a meaningful recognition of their strength and contributions, often under circumstances that require significant resilience,” Jessica added.
“Beyond boosting their confidence, these awards inspire them to aim higher and continue making a difference in their communities.
“The Service Child Awards shine a spotlight on the invaluable traits these students develop through their unique life experiences, turning challenges into opportunities for growth and success.”
Nominations close on on Friday, April 18 and can be submitted here.
