Young Achievers
In September 2013 the Soroptimists International of Wigan launched a search for young achievers in the Borough to mark the 70th anniversary of the charter of the Club We wanted to find a young person who set an example of commitment or courage, or some one who had a similar outlook to Soroptimist international – of inspiring action transforming lives. The age range for nominees required was 11 – 26 years who were to be members of the Guides or Senior Section Guide units in our catchment area – Haigh and Aspull, Shevington, Springfield, Standish, Wigan North, Wigan Central, Worsley Mesnes, Ince, Hindley, Pemberton, Ashton and Golborne. The search ended in November as we were introduced to Hannah Ward a 14 year old who has for the greater part of her life served the needs of children in the Borough through her dedication to the Charity Butterflies.
