About The Diana Award

Young people’s desire to tackle discrimination and injustice is demonstrated clearly in their strong involvement in movements like Black Lives Matter, the Youth Climate Strike and #MeToo. Young people are driving positive change. And yet their voice is still excluded from important conversations about how to build a just society.  

We’re proud to be the only charity set up in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales and her belief that young people have the power to change the world. Our mission is to empower young people to lead that change through a range of initiatives which unlock their potential, inspire action and create opportunities, ensuring that no young person is left out or left behind.

Throughout all of our programmes ‘change’ for and by young people is central. Our Anti-Bullying work encourages change in attitudes and behaviours for young people by young people, our Mentoring schemes guide change for some of the UK’s most marginalised young people and our flagship Award and Development programme recognises the young people driving selfless change across the world, supporting them to go even further. Our newest initiative, ‘Changemakers’ in collaboration with UK Youth and Centre for Mental Health, aims to change the inequalities in mental health experienced by young people from racialised communities.  

We have an ambitious strategy which requires innovation, talented people and robust practices. We want to build our brand as one of the UK’s leading and trusted youth movements and enhance our expertise and profile as a platform and catalyst for youth-led social action. We will Increase our voice and influence on policies that affect the young people we work with and their ability to effect social change. 

Our goal is to be innovative and adaptive to the ever-changing cultural landscape, using digital technology to create the change we want to see across society. This will cut across all aspects of our work from our infrastructure to communications, fundraising and supporting our online communities. 

We are building a long-term, financially sustainable organisation that remains unique, relevant and compelling in a competitive landscape. We want to continue to be outcome-focused and youth-led in everything we do.

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
