Congratulations to Keith, a former resident at Cyrenians Farm, who was given an ‘Inspiring Volunteer Award’ recently. Chosen from of over 200 entries, Keith was presented the award by the Rt Hon George Grubb, Lord Provost of Edinburgh, at the City Chambers last week. Keith has been volunteering on the Farm, as well as living in the residential community, since last January. Low self-esteem was holding him back - despite him being a very warm and friendly young man. It has been great to see him achieve his personal goal of increasing his self-confidence, through volunteering. The next chapter for Keith has been moving to his own wee flat and the challenges that can bring. We are confident he will make a success of this too. (11/6/10)
