Stevenson Commends Circo Modo Performers at Awards Ceremony

SNP candidate for Banffshire & Buchan Coast Stewart Stevenson has commended the young people involved in Circo Modo.

Mr Stevenson was speaking at last night’s awards ceremony at Peterhead’s Rescue Hall where he presented the Saltire Awards to some of the young performers.

Modo Matters to celebrate the awards, achievements and accreditations of our participants and volunteers.

In recognition of the achievements of Modo's participants and volunteers, over 200 Saltire Awards, Dynamic Youth Awards, Youth Achievement Awards and Young Aberdeenshire Volunteer Awards were presented.

The evening also featured short circus performances by some of the participants

Commenting, Stewart Stevenson said:

“Circo Modo, under the leadership of Martin Danziger and his team, have done sterling work in the community and given a whole range of opportunities to young people who may not otherwise have had the chance to develop some of the skills they now have.

“Listening to some of the performers relate their story on stage, it was striking how many of these young people have been given confidence by their involvement in Modo which they simply didn’t have before.

“All in all, it was a very enjoyable evening. I even came away with an invitation to learn how to perform as a fire-eater. I will consider that offer very carefully!”
