Green Gown Awards 2016 – Sustainability Staff Champion – David Dougan – Finalist

Dave Dougan - Ayrshire College

Dave Dougan has been a wonderful ambassador for Ayrshire College for many years. This richly deserved award has acknowledged that he has been the key catalyst to the “Get Kilmarnock Active” initiative.

Dave wanted to do something positive about the horrific health rates within Ayrshire. He liaised with community partners to assist in our work, he motivated our students to make a difference and engaged the population to receive health checks and participate in moderate physical activity.

The positive experience achieved by our students, our engagement with potential employers, the promotion of the institution within our community and the knock on health benefits to the public would not have been possible without Dave.

Ayrshire College and the wider community are delighted that Dave has been recognised for his efforts to improve the lives of others.
