Allsorts Youth Project Peer Educators of Young People's Voice have won in the 'Team' category for the south-east in the Vinspired National Awards.

The awards celebrate young people and youth workers who have made an outstanding contribution to their communities through volunteering.

YPV Peer Educators will find out if they are national award winners in their category to be revealed at a star studded awards ceremony in March 2011.

Stephen Murtagh, Peer Eduactor, said:
"It's rewarding to be acknowledged for our efforts on the long road to tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying. I think winning this award shows us the good we do as a team and the hard work it takes to talk to school kids about a topic like homophobia."

Marianne Lemond, Project Manager, adds:
"I'm thrilled that Allsorts' Peer Education Scheme has won the regional award in the 'Team' category. The young peer educators have worked so hard and are extremely dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of homo/bi/transphobic bullying. Their efforts have helped to make many schools, colleges and youth projects safer spaces for LGBTU youth. They are truly inspiring young people!"
