The Diana Award

The Diana Award was established in 1999 by the British Government who wanted continue Princess Diana’s legacy by establishing a formal way to recognise young people who were going above and beyond the expected in their local communities.

Too many young voices go unheard; our work strives to help elevate those voices onto a higher platform. Since then, we’ve had quite the journey but our core focus has remained the same, empowering young people to change the world. In 2006, they became an independent charity, which enabled them to develop into a fully-fledged youth-led movement. Five years later and they have launched their now world-famous Anti-Bullying Programme and later, in 2012, their Mentoring Programme.

Since 2017, they have provided free health screening to hundreds of Ghanaians at our Friday Born Designs Health Screening Days. Here, whole communities are screened for common diseases such as diabetes, anaemia, high blood pressure, obesity and hepatitis. Free medical consultations and health education is provided to all, many of whom have neglected their health for years due to lack of finance.
