Chief Executive Statement
It gives us great pleasure to host the third annual Young Flyers Awards event
on behalf of 13 Housing Associations, this time at the prestigious home of
Manchester United Football Club.
Every candidate nominated for an award has worked extremely hard, shown motivation and dedication
to their own development and commitment to their organisation and local community.
We are privileged to have these young people working within our communities.
All our Dragons and Judges involved this year have been overwhelmed with the high quality of
nominations and Enterprise projects received.
Each nominee has shown the same excellence across all categories and across all the housing
associations. Time after time they remarked what a good spread of candidates they had assessed.
It is so encouraging when we have over a million unemployed young people in the UK, all these great
young people nominated show so much promise as current or future employees or entrepreneurs .
The overall winners had to be brilliant to be placed first, but there were brilliant people who were
unplaced. Every nominee must take pride in what they have all achieved as a young person and that
someone thought you were worthy of nomination!
Finally, we would like to thank our event partners, sponsors, judges compares and Young Flyers project
team for their support in making this event successful.
Congratulations and well done.
