A prolonged applause marked the announcement of the young voluntry and community award that went to Darren McCombs a pupil at Ribbleton Hall High School who had brought about single handedly a change in attitude from Football clubs having completed a survey of all the clubs to find out the facilities available for disabled children from 5-16 years of age.

The following extract from the Lancashire Evening Post

Darren was delighted to receive the award and gave thanks to everyone who had voted for him and he also gave thanks to all the football clubs 83 in total who had returned the survey forms for him to complete his research, He then went on to say a big thankyou to his Gran who he said who had always been there for him and had helped him to understand disability and care for everyone. Darren also enjoyed the chance to talk with Sir Tom who also informed Darren that he was proud of him and his achievements he was sure both His School and his football club would also be proud of his success.a very happy Darren then had his photo taken with Sir Tom.

Darrens speech "Um thank you to everybody who voted for me and to all the football clubs who sent back the survey forms so I could finish the survey 83 cubs sent them back"

"Um Um a special thank you to mi nan who has always been there for me in anything I do and has shown me how to understand disability and care for every body".



I am sure anyone reading this story would like to join all at AWADS in congratulating Darren for his award and thank him for his efforts. The "Gnan" he reffers to in his speech is of course non other than the founder of AWADS Mrs B McCombs. Darren and Gran Barbara pictured
