On the 14th October we worked in partnership with the Outreach at team at the University of Sheffield to host our 40th Gold Award Ceremony at Firth Hall, and it was our BIGGEST one yet! Over 200 young people from 4 secondary schools, and 89 primary and secondary students who have been collecting credits with their Passport to Learning at Learning Destinations across the city were invited to receive Gold awards for choosing to take part in over 100 hours of out of school activity.

There were fantastic speeches from Professor Zoe Ollerenshaw Senior Lecturer from the University of Sheffield, Sam Martin Assistant Director of Lifelong Learning, Skills and Communities, and Student Union Activities Officer Annie Gainsborough. We also had some spectacular performances from Concord All Stars, Sheffield Music Hub's Senior Flute Choir, and Sheffield Sea Cadets.

We also made a very special presentation to two of our fantastic award winners, who both managed to clock up a staggering 1000 hours of out of school activities to earn them our top award, the Gold Fellowship. Both students were presented with their CU certificates, and a special gift from the University of Sheffield.
