In partnership with Nationwide Building Society, The Diana Award recognises student’s commitment on becoming an Anti-Bullying Ambassador by offering them a unique opportunity to become Football Association Mascots.
What would an FA Mascot get to do if they are nominated and selected?
What would an FA Mascot get if they are invited to a training camp?
The training camps are an opportunity for the selected Mascots to go and watch the players train in an open training session, either the men’s or women’s teams. They also get the chance to meet some of the players to have photos taken and things signed.
Maisie’s mum said “At the end of the game she was given Chloe Kelly’s shirt which totally completed a perfect night for her.”
“This was the best night of my life and nothing will top it” Maisie says. She also hopes that one day it will be herself walking out as one of the Lionesses holding a mascot’s hand.
If your primary school has recently been Anti-Bullying Ambassador trained, you can nominate your student(s) by completing this 3-minute form and our friendly Communications team will be in touch if your student(s) is/are selected.
The Diana Award recently launched our first Youth Insights Report, focused on Youth Voice in Politics. To ensure youth involvement from the ground up, we involved Peer Researchers throughout the process to help connect us with the stories and experiences of young people. Follow Peer Researchers Gracie and Arthur, as they journey towards improving levels of youth engagement in politics and discuss the power of young people as facilitators, analysts, and champions for change.
International Youth Day, celebrated annually on 12 August, is a global celebration of the contributions, aspirations, and potential of young people around the world. It is a day of significance at The Diana Award, and to celebrate this year, we asked two young people from across our programmes to talk about a topic close to their hearts. This article, written by Iola Nkau, Co-producer on The Diana Award Young Changemakers Programme, highlights the difficulty young people have in finding and accessing GP services. The second article, written by Centre for Social Action Co-Designer, Obinna Emmanuel Ezeani, highlights the need for youth inclusion and diverse representation in decision-making processes.
