VIPs including Sir Trevor McDonald, Will Young, Baroness Newlove and government ministers celebrated with the young 2010 Award winners at a star studded event at BAFTA.

It was a great occasion where young people could silence their critics and prove the great things they are doing for their communities. Through their passion, talent and drive, these young people are tackling the big issues that affect them, from sectarianism to knife-crime. They are strengthening communities, bringing generations together and improving accessibility.
