The Yorkshire Young Achievers Awards celebrate their 19^th birthday this year and we are, as always, keen to hear of young people from across the region who are making their mark.

The Awards recognise outstanding young people aged under 35 who have made an impact, whether nationally, regionally or locally.

They are open to young people who live, work or were born in Yorkshire and celebrate achievements in the fields of business, sport, education and the arts, in overcoming adversity and achieving fame and fortune. Those with a lower profile have been brought into the limelight thanks to the Unsung Hero award, while there is always a Youngster of the Year to celebrate the achievement of a child under 12.

To nominate your Young Achiever, simply go to the YYA Awards button on the left and you can nominate on-line or download a form.

Since the Awards were founded in 1993, they have raised more than £800,000 to support young people across the region. The creation of the Foundation will allow the fundraising to help even more children and youngsters in Yorkshire.

There are a number of ways to get involved with Yorkshire Young Achievers whether as a partner, a fundraiser or a supporter of the Yorkshire Young Achievers Awards.

If you have a fundraising idea or would like to take part in any of our fundraising events then we would love to hear from you.   To be kept up to date with all the latest news, please send us an email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will be sure to keep in contact.
