The Diana Award was founded on Diana, Princess of Wales’ belief that
YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE _
We EXIST to empower young people to make that positive change. We do this by
UNLOCKING POTENTIAL
With support, guidance and opportunities every young person can reach their full potential, ensuring no young person is left out or left behind.
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES
Young people deserve a seat at the table to shape decisions about our shared future. Their voice enriches decision-making and inspires us all to do more and do better.
INSPIRING ACTION
With the right support and advocacy, young people have the passion, energy and insight to lead the change they want to see, for themselves, their communities and the world around them.
OUR PROGRAMMES AND INITIATIVES
Throughout all of our programmes and initiatives ‘change’ for and by young people is central.
Our Anti-Bullying work encourages change in attitudes and behaviours for young people by young people, our Mentoring schemes guide change for some of the UK’s most vulnerable young people and our flagship Award and Development programme recognises the young people driving selfless change across the world, supporting them to go even further. In 2021 we launched our newest initiative, ‘Changemakers’ which aims to change the inequalities in mental health experienced by young people from racialised communities.
We’re thrilled to have you here with us – we certainly can’t do it alone. We’d like to invite you to learn more about who we are and to be one of the many individuals and organisations around the world who make continuing Princess Diana’s legacy possible.
