The Impact of the Award

The Award is a youth charity striving to give more young people each year access to a high quality, non-formal education and learning experience. To demonstrate the value of the impact of the Award, we have conducted a Social Value analysis for the last few years. Social Value is the value of changes that stakeholders of the Award experience due to their involvement with the Award.
