THE BRITISH CITIZEN YOUTH Award – BCyA
We would like to express our thanks to the growing number of BCyA Ambassadors. Each has either received a BCyA Medal of Honour for their exceptional endeavours or attended a Medal Presentation Ceremony in an official capacity.
Our Ambassadors speak with one voice and are our most loyal supporters in all regions of the British Isles. They are true to our core values – transparency, integrity, determination, achievement – and promote and support the BCyA at every opportunity and we are truly grateful to them.
