GSS partner Ian Bray was delighted to present the Young Disabled Achiever Award to 13-year-old Dermot Bailey, who was one of the winners in the Northamptonshire Sports Awards for 2007, held on 1st November and organised by the Evening Telegraph and the Chronicle & Echo.

Dermot goes to Brooke Weston School in Corby, and is 18th in the world rankings for Junior Wheelchair Tennis. He also reached the quarter finals of the British National Championships.

Ian explained, "At GSS we have a policy of supporting the local community through sponsorship and other activities, and we were particularly pleased to be able to sponsor this award, and hopefully help to provide encouragement to young people with disabilities."
