How society can better support young people remains one of the most important debates of our time. The changing world we live in means that there are bigger challenges than ever but more opportunities too. The Philip Lawrence Awards are incredibly important because they recognise the outstanding efforts of so many young people in supporting their peers to overcome difficulties and to reach their full potential.

Each year the Awards provide national recognition for a range of inspiring contributions from young people, helping them feel confident and proud of the difference they can make. These are unique Awards delivered by young people, for young people and we are delighted to play our part in making them happen.
