Travis is part of the youth club junior committee, which feeds into the general committee in the youth club. He has put many ideas forward especially for the juniors which have been incorporated in the sessions, including music events, arts and craft activities and other issue/political events.

Travis helps out in the youth club every session he attends by either running the coffee bar, helping to prepare, cook and serve food to all the other young people and assisting with other activities in the youth club.

He is driven to make things better for other young people and is not frightened to stand up for others in a much larger arena. He played a significant role in supporting County Councillor Joyce Bosnjak in getting a new and much better play area for children in the Mansfield Woodhouse.

Chris Warren, Group Manager for the Youth Service at Nottinghamshire County Council said: “Many congratulations to Travis on his deserved nomination for this year’s 4Uth Awards. He has been extremely active in his local area to support young people, such as campaigning for new children’s amenities on Mansfield Woodhouse and playing key roles in a number of key external activities outside of school. Travis is a wonderful role model for young people.”
