A Bradford woman who has supported young people for 25 years has dedicated a national award to the teenagers she works with.
Adie Hinsely won the Youth Worker of the Year title at The Christian Youth Awards.
Mrs Hinsely said: “All I can think about is the young people I work with. I work with so many teenagers who struggle and have a hard time, so this is for them.
“Sometimes it’s lonely being a youth worker. You have some dark days and lonely times. But seeing the bigger picture [at the ceremony] and seeing all that’s going on is amazing.”
Mrs Hinsely, who has been a youth worker in East Bowling for 25 years, won the prize for her work with e:merge Bradford. She told awards organisers e:merge worked “in the most segregated, deprived and broken wards of Bradford” with the aim of helping teenagers develop their potential.
