Joint winners of Young Achiever award at Mid Sussex Applauds awards

The winners were announced in November last year, and the video has been made to replace the usual awards ceremony.

Mid Sussex Applauds seeks to recognise those who go above and beyond in their efforts for our community.

The Young Achiever award joint winners are Zac Lammas and Kieran Thompson.

One nomination for Zac said: “Zac’s fortitude and spirit has been paramount in his recovery following a catastrophic injury in 2018.

“He inspires everyone he meets with his cheerful attitude, good humour, and positivity.

“He is a true inspiration to all, achieving so much in the relatively short period since his injury.’

A nomination for Kieran said: “During lockdown Kieran was self-isolating but on his daily walk he decided to spread some cheer by dressing as Spiderman.

“This took him all over Burgess Hill and he also started raising money for the NHS and has managed to raise over £2500 so far.

“This young man is a real-life superhero!”
