Diana Award

The Diana Award is a special prize given to young people between the ages of 9 and 25. It is named after Diana, Princess of Wales, who believed that young people have the power to make the world a better place. This award was established in 1999 by a board chaired by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. It is the longest-running award for young people based on their actions. The award is given to young people who are working hard to make a positive difference in their communities and the world. This could include things like:


 Helping people in need

 Making their communities safer and kinder

It is run by The Diana Award charity, a legacy charity of Princess Diana. It is based in London, UK. Winners of the Diana Award receive a special ceremony and a chance to connect with other young people who are also making a difference. The award is handed over to winners by The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex. Currently, the CEO of The Diana Award is Tessy Ojo.
