A YOUTH Celebration Awards evening was held at the Civic Hall on wednesday night.
From rappers to historians to mountain climbers, a whole galaxy of positive young people were warmly applauded by the borough.
With musical interludes and speeches, it was a striring evening and showed what the great work the Thurrock Youth and Connexions and their partners, Thurrock 14-19 Strategic Partnership, V-Involved and Thurrock Youth Cabinet are doing.
