A Lurgan man who was recently recognised for his work with young people has been congratulated by the Lord Mayor during a reception in Armagh.
Lyle English was awarded the Good Morning Britain Volunteer of the Year Award in May, to recognise his 20 years of volunteering with the Prince’s Trust.
As a business mentor, he offers his time and skills to help young people take their first steps into self-employment.
From florists, to textile artists to engine cleaners, more than 40 young people have set up businesses in Northern Ireland with Lyle’s support.
