The British Citizen Youth Award – BCyA
The British Citizen Youth Award in association with Specsavers, recognises the individual endeavours of young people who are positively impacting their communities, helping charities or undertaking exceptional activities in support of others.
Across the nation people are showing kindness and caring to others, but often without the recognition it deserves. The British Citizen Youth Award understands that there is no age limit to selfless acts of kindness, so we have created BCyA Medal of Honour for those aged under 18. Young people are the key to our future for making our society and communities a better place to live.

HONOURED at the Palace of Westminster
Hello, please could I take a moment to say a huge ‘thank you’ for an amazing day last week in London. The day was very special and I would like to thank the organisers, the speakers and the whole organising team for welcoming us to the event and the inspirational environment it generated. I hope to continue with my volunteering and encouraging my friends and pupils at my school to work towards making a difference. Thank you so much. Dilip Gosall BCyA (17)
“The society we live in tomorrow will be shaped by our youth of today, which is why championing amazing young role models is so very important.
These unsung heroes are the rising stars of the future – let us shine a light on them and celebrate!
