Last night, seven First News readers presented awards to individuals that have helped them with their learning challenges over the years, at the first annual My Way! Awards at 11 Downing Street.

Seven First News readers, who have been helping the Government with their plans for special education needs, were at Downing Street for the launch of the My Way! Awards, thanks to author Frances Osborne and her husband, Chancellor George Osborne.

While there, Alfie, Sarah, Ben, Polly, Emus, Georgia and Jack became the very first children in the UK to present a My Way! Award. The awards say: “Thanks for helping me to learn My Way!” and give children who need a bit of extra support an opportunity to thank somebody who they feel has really been there for them, whether it’s a teacher, a friend, a brother or sister, parent, grandparent, a cousin, a dinner lady or it could be someone who sits next to them in maths.

Celebrities who attended the event included My Way! ambassador, Henry Winkler, Mollie King from The Saturdays and Lee Ryan from Blue.

Look out for videos from the event coming soon to First News TV.
