2026 Len Railton Bursaries Awards

At Compassion Connections Foundation, one of our greatest privileges is investing in the future of our community.

We are pleased to officially share the recipients of the 2025/2026 Len Railton Compassion Bursaries.

Although the original awards ceremony, held on June 3, 2025, was unfortunately cut short due to an unexpected power outage, each recipient has since had the opportunity to receive their award personally. We are grateful we were able to celebrate these remarkable young individuals despite the unexpected circumstances.

Congratulations to our 2025/2026 Recipients

🎓 William Hordyski
🎓 Nolan Edmonds

Each of these students has demonstrated compassion, leadership, dedication, and a commitment to making a positive impact within their communities. Their achievements reflect the very values that Len Railton embodied throughout his life.

The Len Railton Compassion Bursary was created to recognize students who not only excel academically but who also lead with kindness, generosity, and service to others. Supporting the next generation of community leaders remains one of the Foundation's proudest traditions.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to William, Nolan, and Lyla on this well-deserved recognition. We wish each of you continued success as you pursue your educational goals and future careers.

We would also like to thank our generous supporters and donors. Your ongoing contributions make programs like the Len Railton Compassion Bursary possible and allow us to continue investing in deserving students throughout our community.
