For a third year in a row, the number of young people receiving a Saltire Award for volunteering has broken Shetland records.
The annual celebration of youth volunteering took place on Tuesday 9th June at Mareel. This year, 191 young people aged between 11 and 25 years old received a total of 336 certificates between them, recognising over 15,400 hours of volunteering they had collectively taken part in with 67 different organisations, schools, projects, charities and clubs.
VAS would like to thank all youth volunteers and the organisations who continue to provide opportunities for young people and make the Saltire Awards so successful in Shetland.
