This award recognises exceptional young people whose volunteering over the past year has made a significant difference.

Whether leading boldly, supporting behind the scenes, or sparking change, we’re looking for young volunteers who’ve gone above and beyond to make a real impact. We want to see how their actions have improved lives, inspired others, and made communities stronger — rather than the hours they’ve clocked. Submit your nomination
