"I was extremely pleased and interested to read of the work you do, that introduces young people to the issues around sustainable development. As you are well aware, everything we do has an effect on something or someone. Through your work with children and schools, you have found, as I have, just how heartening it is to see their willingness to become involved in making the world a better place. May I congratulate you on your programme, awards and your continuing work to make your local community a better place to live." Minister for Children, Young People & Families
