Future Forward_

In late 2019, we set out to develop a new five-year strategy for The Diana Award, to draw together the different strands of our work, take advantage of new ideas and opportunities, and make the best use of our talent and resources.

We listened to the young people at the heart of everything we do. We talked to the expert staff who deliver our programmes. We gathered feedback from the trustees and partners whose support is so vital to our success. And then the global pandemic hit, and we had to take time to re-shape our thinking to respond to the profound impact it has had on the lives of young people.

All of this has shaped Future Forward – an ambitious plan that sets out how we will empower young people to make positive change over the next five years.

As part of our new five-year strategy, Future Forward we asked our friends to write a letter to their future self.

The letter is a short, personal message to inspire, reassure and celebrate your future self –all that you are, all that you care about and all you will have achieved.

Read them now or learn how to write your own letter.
