A Diana Award recipient

CELEBRATING DIANA’S LEGACY_

In 2017 we launched The Legacy Award to celebrate Diana’s legacy in the 20th Anniversary year.  Taking place every two years, this unique accolade celebrates the achievements of the 20 most outstanding Diana Award Recipients from the previous two years who have changed the world, as the late Princess Diana believed they could.

Legacy Award Recipients receive two years of bespoke support aimed at creating opportunities and strengthening their impact. Alongside a week-long residential experience and Legacy Award Ceremony, Legacy Award Recipients receive coaching, mentoring, skills-building, and networking support.

The 2024 Legacy Award Experience was sponsored by Gilead Sciences and supported by Atrum and British Airways.
