Established in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, The Diana Award is one of the world’s most prestigious accolade a young person aged 9-25 years can receive for their social action or humanitarian work. Our mission is to empower and develop young changemakers to create sustainable impact in their communities. We do this through a Development Programme which consists of tailored support, access to networking and upskilling opportunities and skills training.

About

The Diana Award

The Diana Award is the only UK charity founded in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, and her belief that young people have the power to change the world. Established 25 years ago, the organisation empowers young people to create positive social change through a comprehensive range of programmes and initiatives. The Diana Award serves young people across the UK and beyond, offering opportunities to unlock potential, inspire action, and create pathways for meaningful participation in their communities. Their work focuses on three core pillars: unlocking potential through support and guidance, creating opportunities for youth voice and leadership, and inspiring action to tackle social inequalities. The organisation partners with schools, communities, and other stakeholders to ensure no young person is left out or left behind.
