Local teenager Jessica Ryan received The Recorder Young Citizen Award at Redbridge Town Hall in March.
“Jessica is a pupil at Trinity Catholic High School in Woodford Green. Alongside organising a charity week for her school and supporting local charity Haven House, the 17-year-old also organised a two-week donation drive for Redbridge Foodbank. More than 650kg of food was collected as a result of her efforts, enough to make emergency food parcels for 59 people in need,” said an Ilford Recorder spokesperson.
