A Glasgow teen has recently been crowned Crimestoppers Youth Volunteer of the Year.

Logan Clark, a 15-year-old schoolboy from Whitehill Secondary School in Dennistoun, earned the top place prize through his involvement with the Crimestoppers' youth service, Fearless, which works to empower young people to make informed decisions about reporting crime.

Since October, the East End teen has shown his dedication by learning how the charity operates, helping them to devise new resources to launch campaigns and has appeared on a number of their flagship podcasts.

Judges in London were blown away by Logan's commitment when they met to discuss the nominations from all over the UK, and Crimestoppers staff surprised the youngster with the award at a special celebration in school.

Lyndsay McDade, national youth projects coordinator at Crimestoppers said:"Logan is a great example of all the wonderful young people across Scotland who actively get involved within their communities and make a difference every day.

"Often it's the small number of negative incidents that are the ones to make it onto social media, so this award really allows us to shine a light on the positive contribution that young people make to society.

"Logan has such a strong social conscience and just shines when he’s volunteering. For me, he exemplifies how important and successful the charity sector can be at engaging young people and helping them to find both their confidence and a career pathway.

"To manage and support Logan on his volunteering journey, whilst also being his MCR Pathways Mentor, is such a privilege. His enthusiasm is entirely contagious, and he’s really contributed to the success of our youth service across Scotland this year.

"I can’t wait to see what the future brings for Logan because he’s an outstanding young man who will, I’m certain, go far. I’m very proud of him."

Glasgow Times:

Mark Hallas, chief executive of Crimestoppers, added: "We were really encouraged by Logan’s commitment and enthusiasm which shows he has great promise.

"I’d like to thank Logan and all those who were recognised this year. If you’re interested in volunteering for Crimestoppers or Fearless, then please get in touch via the volunteering section of our website."
