Vision & Aims
The Diana Award Purpose
The Diana Award recognises young people who have made an outstanding and selfless contribution to their communities, and demonstrated the qualities associated with Diana Princess of Wales - compassion and a commitment to improving the lives of others.
The Award identifies positive role models that challenge existing stereotypes of young people, and gives them recognition at a time when their life choices are still to be made, encouraging them to develop their full potential.
Receipt of the Award benefits young people in two additional ways - it acts as a differentiator, highlighting their qualities to employers, educational and other organisations, and it gives them access to a rapidly developing alumni programme to support their personal development and their continuing involvement in community projects.
