A POLICE community support officer (PCSO) has been handed a prestigious award in recognition of his achievements in the Redditch community.

PCSO Jake Gore, of the Greenlands, Lodge Park & Woodrow Safer Neighbourhood Team, was honoured with an ‘Amazing Adult Tryangle Award’ for his partnership work building bridges in the Woodrow area.

PCSO Gore received his award at a special evening at Worcester Bosch on Cotswold Way In Worcester earlier this month. 

The awards were organised by charity Young Solutions to celebrate the volunteering efforts, achievements and kindness of young people and adults in Worcestershire. Young Solutions describe themselves as a progressive infrastructure charity dedicated to keeping young people safe and involved.

PCSO Gore said: “I’m delighted and proud to receive this award from Young Solutions on behalf of myself and the team for the work we have been doing in the Redditch community.

“Thanks to Your Ideas, the non-profit youth engagement organisation, for nominating me and I look forward to continuing our partnership work in the future.”
