Alison Dark from 12th NI Magheragall Presbyterian GB and Rebecca Stevenson from 160th NI St Paul’s Parish were recently presented with their Queen’s Award.

Over a period of two years working for the Award, the girls were required to undertake six elements: community service over a period of six months; GB company service; submission of an in depth project assignment to a high standard; completion of two initiative tests; pass a two hour written study paper and final interview; whilst also playing an active part in life of their church.
