The Diana Award is a special prize given to young people between the ages of 9 and 25.[1] It is named after Diana, Princess of Wales, who believed that young people have the power to make the world a better place. This award was established in 1999 by a board chaired by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.[2] It is the longest-running award for young people based on their actions. The award is given to young people who are working hard to make a positive difference in their communities and the world.[3] This could include things like:
