Mike
Hill said: "Each year, the Try Angle Awards bring together
young people with incredible stories to tell and the countywide
ceremonies are a real highlight in the calendar. It is vital that
we recognise and pay tribute to the youngsters in Kent who work so
hard, sometimes in the face of adversity."
