The Inspiration Award sponsored by McDonald’s

Someone who has inspired a community initiative or inspired others to do the same. Or simply someone who is a positive role model for young people.

Amelie Turnbull

Eight-year-old Amelie started her own business selling her art in shops as greeting cards and gives half her profits to charities which support her disabled brother: Camp Mohawk and Music Club.

Amelie has raised £5,000 to date with her watercolour designs under the name Little Amelie Art and “has inspired others to enjoy creating their own art” especially helping children to cope with their anxiety following Covid lockdowns.
