Diana Memorial Award

The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Award for Inspirational Young People was established in 1999 by a board chaired by the then Chancellor, Gordon Brown, who felt that the award would reflect the personal interest of Diana, Princess of Wales in supporting the outstanding achievements of young people. This award is seen as a last legacy to Diana, Princess of Wales.

The Diana Award is a prestigious award that endeavors to appreciate and celebrate the work which young people make to society - especially those who are young ambassadors, young leaders, young humanitarians, fund raisers, environmental campaigners, peer mentors, sports leaders, and those who inspire others as Diana, Princess of Wales, did.

The vision is to promote a culture that celebrates young people from all sections of society who have made a selfless contribution to society.

A Diana Award winner receives a prestigious national award and a certificate signed by the British Prime Minister, Rt Hon Theresa May MP, and a lapel pin or trophy. They also receive other benefits from the Award, including attending events hosted by Prince Harry and Prince William.

In the longer term, the Diana Award provides its holders opportunities to attend events organized by the Diana team, primarily as part of the 'Young Ambassadors Programme'.

In 2011, the International Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Award was launched to recognize young people who are inspiring the lives of others internationally as Diana, Princess of Wales did.
