Dominic (18) is a finalist in the Volunteer of the Year category of the Inspire Awards – in recognition of his commitment and dedication as a volunteer over the past year.

Over the past 12 months Dominic has given his time giving technical support backstage and acting as a runner for two shows run by Inspire Arts, a group set up to support creativity across the county through a diverse programme of visual arts, music, drama and dance.

The RSL student has been invited to an awards ceremony in Mansfield later this term, hosted by BBC Radio Nottingham’s Dean Jackson when final award winners will be announced.
