 2017 is a very special year as it marks the 20^th Anniversary of Princess Diana’s passing. We plan to celebrate Diana’s life and legacy throughout the year and as a part of the celebrations we have announced the ‘Inaugural Legacy Award’ which will look to highlight the achievements of 20 exceptional young people from across the world for their selfless commitment to transforming the lives of others.

 As the search begins for these outstanding young people who embody the late Princess’ qualities of compassion, kindness and service, The Diana Award calls out to communities and organisations across the world to nominate a young person who is deserving of such honour.

 The 20 recipients of the Legacy Award will travel to London, UK to receive the honour at a prestigious ceremony in May 2017 and will also be given access to a unique Development Programme, providing them with the opportunity to enhance their skills in four key areas; leadership, community development, social entrepreneurship and technology for good.

 These young people will be leaders, visionaries and role models able to inspire and mobilise new generations to serve their communities and make a positive change to the world as Princess Diana believed they could.

 We would be delighted if you would join us in finding these incredible young change makers by calling on your frontline staff to shine the spotlight on an unsung young heroes at www.diana-award.org.uk
