The Paddy Duffy (Memorial) Award was established in 2002 by the principal officers of Clubs for Young People. The Award is intended to be supportive of the values, style and approach of Paddy Duffy – a much-loved and cherished voluntary youth leader and former vice-president of Clubs for Young People. Paddy epitomised many of the personal qualities that are characteristic of good youth work.

 

 

The Paddy Duffy annual bursary  is awarded to young leaders whose exemplary participation in youth work is characterised by some or all of the following:

·        commitment and volunteerism

·        selflessness

·        resilience

·        commitment to fair play

·        equal treatment for all

·        supportive and considerate of others

 

                … and whose approach to a challenge, although purposeful, is distinguished by a sense of fun and good humour.

 

If you recognise anyone, please let us know.  Contact the Central Office of Clubs for Young People and ask for a Paddy Duffy Nomination Form.  The Award is usually presented at the annual general meeting (AGM) of Clubs for Young People.
