St George's College is thrilled to announce that the Sixth Form led Kennedy Club has been recognised with the prestigious Together Award at the BBC Radio Surrey and Sussex Make a Difference Awards ceremony, which took place on Monday, 25th September.

The BBC Make a Difference Awards celebrate the outstanding contributions of individuals and groups from across Surrey and Sussex who have made a positive impact on their communities and beyond. St George's Kennedy Club won the Together Award, a category specifically highlighting organisations that bring together different sections of society or backgrounds and that was full of many strong entrants. Kennedy Club Presidents Luca, Freya and Oliver where there to accept the award on behalf of the School.

St George's Kennedy Club is a weekly co-curricular club for vulnerable and displaced young people from the local community run by the Sixth Form. It offers activities such as board games, sports and an opportunity to socialise with our guests. The club is a beacon of community engagement and support within our school and the local area, and with so many Sixth Formers keen to be involved that a rolling rota is required to ensure everyone gets a turn to help. The Sixth Form students unwavering commitment to fostering unity and working together to help our guests has not only made a difference, it has also served as an inspiration to many.

Headmistress of St George's College, Rachel Owens, expressed the School's gratitude on receiving the award: "St George’s is honoured to receive this prestigious recognition from the BBC Make a Difference Awards.

“Our Kennedy Club exemplifies our Georgian values of hospitality, collaboration, and happiness. This award is testament to the dedication and hard work of our students, staff, and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to make a positive impact and a real difference in the lives of our weekly guests, I am so proud of everyone involved in making this venture – which is so much more than a co-curricular club - the success that it is”.

St George's Kennedy Club looks forward to continuing its mission of community engagement and service, knowing that this award will inspire even greater collaboration and hospitality from our students.
