In 1999 the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Award for Young People was established. The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Committee felt that this Award would reflect Princess Diana�s personal interest in helping and supporting young people.

The Diana Award recognises the contribution young people make to their school, family or community - it rewards and celebrates school students who are, for example;

*peer mentors,
*fundraisers,
*young carers,
*school councillors,
*environmental campaigners,
*sports leaders,
*overcoming adversity,
*and much much more.

Diana Award holders receive a special certificate and a lapel pin or one trophy for a group; a termly issue of Inspire, the Diana Award newsletter; and membership to the Award holders section of the website. We also provide opportunities for Award holders to attend events organised by the Diana team, such as the Young Ambassadors Programme which includes presentation, research and peer education training.

Since 1999, over 11,000 young people from across the UK have received an Award.
