A LICHFIELD man has been recognised for his work with a charity.
It came after his work with The Gap, which supports local, marginalised young people.
A spokesperson said:
“Recognising the need for additional youth support, David successfully advocated for the appointment of a female youth worker, leading to the launch of HeadSpace – a mentoring project that operates one-to-one mentoring and supporting young people in local schools around issues of mental health and wellbeing.
“His vision had always to position The Gap as an integral part of the local community, fostering positive and unified relationships with police, local businesses, and other youth organisations.
“Though David stepped down as chair of the trustees in October 2024, his legacy is evident in the countless young lives The Gap has positively impacted, helping them grow into responsible, family-oriented individuals committed to supporting others.
“His passion and dedication have truly made a lasting difference in the community.”
David is currently a trustee of the Lichfield Christian Schools Work Trust which trains volunteers to mentor and support in primary and secondary schools in the local area.
