Pictured here is Fergal receiving his award from Jonathan, alongside his Leader Jake, who proudly nominated him for this well-deserved recognition 😊

This isn’t the first time Fergal has been nominated for such an award a true reflection of the great work he continues to do and the dedication he brings to his role every day
