Princess Diana’s legacy is being kept alive by an independent charity that honors children and young people who display outstanding qualities and contribute to their schools, their communities, and society as a whole.

The Diana Awards have honored more than 22,000 young people in Britain since they were established in 1999, and the latest batch have just been awarded to 22 young Scottish children and teenagers who have shown initiative, bravery, and integrity in the battle to help others. But the awards do more than just recognise the recipients’ good deeds, they also aim to give the winners the opportunity to develop their full potential as active citizens within society.

“The Diana Award is a living legacy to the late princess,” said Maggie Turner, Director of the Diana Awards. “It is given to ordinary young people who go that extra mile to make a difference to the lives of friends, families, schools and communities. It is an award for life and we know its recipients will want to use it as a springboard to continue the inspirational work they do for the future of our society.”
