The event celebrated Achievement Award winners aged 11-25 from Harrow for their contributions to their community. 

Maya was recognised for her work as a young carer for her brother, she wakes up every day at 5.30 am to carry out daily responsibilities for him. Despite this challenge, Maya still completes all her school work and never complains, always having a positive outlook in life and at school.

She was awarded a framed certificate from the Foundation along with a £250 grant which she plans to spend on equipment at Pinner High School.
