A thank you was also given to Daneem Muh, Mahnoor Usman, Kat Isaja, Laaibah Mujtaba, and Ruth Mac-moniobo for their contribution to Luton communities.

Managing director at Att10tive Montell Neufville said: “The youth ambassadors are not only the future of our town but they are the present, they represent some of the very best we have and they do everyone proud.

“We will continue to make Luton a safer place, a more vibrant place and ensure through creativity our people and communities are front and centre of everything that we do."

Deputy mayor Cllr Zanib Raja said: “It was wonderful seeing the transformation of these individuals growing through their poetry, public speaking, presentations, photography, and videography.

“They are being taught and are learning skills that will develop and help them throughout their chosen path in life. Thanks to Montell and the Att10tive ambassadors for the support they provide for our communities.

“Keep up your good energy and keep going strong, continuing to strive in your journey, thank you and well done to all.“
