Congratulations to Lower Sixth student Franklin Newburn, who is working towards his Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award while volunteering with Stripey Stork.
Nicola Dawes from Stripey Stork said: “Franklin has become a valued member of our team. He consistently demonstrates a positive attitude and willingness to get involved in all aspects of our work, from sorting donations and packing referrals to supporting new volunteers and helping at events.”
Franklin attended a celebration at Loseley Park on Thursday 11 June marking 70 years of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, as a guest of Stripey Stork. Nicola added: “He spoke with confidence and warmth about our work and reflected thoughtfully on his volunteering experience.
“He engaged with a wide range of guests, including the Lord-Lieutenant, the High Sheriff, the CEO of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Ruth Marvel OBE, and community and business leaders. His confidence, maturity and enthusiasm stood out – he was a credit to himself, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, and Reigate College.”
