So far, the ‘here to HELP’ Awards, which have been running for nearly two years, have had a positive impact upon the lives of over 10,000 children in England, Scotland and Wales. The Save the Children here to HELP awards, funded by British Gas, inspire young people to make their local area a better place to live and offer them support to get active, make changes and enjoy themselves at the same time.
As well as the £1,000 awards there are also £3,000 awards that young people can apply for to improve something in their local community. Children and young people and those working with them are able to submit their proposals at the here to HELP website.
