The WE CAN Awards 2025 celebrated the achievements of ten outstanding individuals who were nominated for an award by their schools and youth groups within three WE CAN categories: WE CAN Learn, WE CAN Be Well, and WE CAN Be Connected. The ten winners were welcomed with a red carpet arrival at Theatre at the Mill and then later took to the stage to be presented with their award, with friends, family, and many others coming to support them.

A group of young people took the lead in planning aspects of the WE CAN 2025 award ceremony. As guests assembled, everything they experienced – from Magician to Fire Juggler, a sensory space, and a balloon arch, as well as ‘We Can’ themed refreshments, had been arranged by a young people’s planning group made up of young people from the Bridge Youth Centre, Rathcoole Youth Centre. The young people also took to the stage and presented throughout the evening. A huge thank you and congratulations to Issy, Molly, Mya, Leah and Dylan for such a successful evening of celebration.
Ten winners included:
WE CAN Learn: William Millar (Abbey Community College), Cody Rice (Kings Park Primary School) and Alicia McGuiness (St James Primary School).
WE CAN Be Well: Sophie Gurthrie (Whitehouse Primary School), Ella Kirker (Rathcoole Youth Centre) and Amelia McMurray (Rathcoole Primary School).
