The Child of Wales Awards was created by Mark and Blanche Sainsbury two years ago.
Now its going national for 2022 and Blanche is delighted that young people the length and breadth of the United Kingdom will be celebrated.
The Child of Britain Awards 2022 has 13 award categories covering outstanding personal courage, bravery, sporting and creative achievements; while recognising the children who help others – championing causes in their communities, protecting the environment, caring for others and fundraising.
Hundreds of nominations as well as support from celebrities and communities across the UK have already flooded in - messages from Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta Jones to the winners being invited to an exclusive reception at Downing Street.
The event will also raise funds that will be used to provide much-needed support to children’s charities across the UK.
Co-founder Blanche Sainsbury said: “These truly remarkable awards tell of awe-inspiring and achievements by children across Britain. They are stories that need to be told.
“The evening will undoubtedly be emotional, inspirational and unforgettable for everyone involved and I’m absolutely delighted I Saw It First will be there to share such a moving experience.
“They are the perfect fit for a partner and share our values of kindness, giving back and leaving a legacy for our nation’s children.”
The Child of Britain Awards 2022 follows the success of the Child of Wales Awards in 2020, when a group of remarkable young people were invited to Downing Street, attracting national attention and the support of celebrities and sporting personalities.
The event grew into the Child of Britain, Child of Scotland and Child of Ireland Awards thanks to the overwhelming support in Wales.
