OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
About The Diana Award
The Diana Award is the only charity legacy to Diana, Princess of Wales, founded on the belief that young people have the power to change the world. We are proud to have her sons, The Prince of Wales and The Duke of Sussex, as our supporters.
Our Mission
We exist to empower young people to make positive change. However, we recognise the significant challenges that hinder young people from realising their full potential and effecting change. Young people face substantial barriers that impact their ability to change the world:
- Challenges to Mental Health and Wellbeing: Young people today struggle with mental health issues exacerbated by systemic inequalities and a lack of supportive environments.
-Social and Economic Barriers: Financial insecurity and limited access to resources prevent young people from pursuing their goals and achieving social mobility.
- Not Being Listened To: Young people often feel unheard and misunderstood by those in power, leading to a loss of agency and influence over decisions that affect their lives.
For the past 25 years, The Diana Award has been dedicated to addressing these challenges and empowering young people to overcome these obstacles. Our mission is to see young people with improved mental health and wellbeing, equitable access to opportunities, and greater power and influence over decisions that shape their futures.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
.
Our 2024/25 Impact
In 2024/25, The Diana Award continued to deliver measurable impact across the UK and internationally. Through our programmes, we supported thousands of young people to build confidence, develop leadership skills and take meaningful social action in their schools, communities and workplaces.
Our work this year focused on three strategic areas: improving mental health and wellbeing, creating equitable opportunities , and amplifying youth voice and agency . Together, these priorities underpin our long-term vision to unlock potential in every young person and build a generation of changemakers who contribute to a fairer, more compassionate world.
Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing through Unlocking Potential
The Diana Award continues to address the systemic and structural challenges that affect young people's mental health and wellbeing. Working in partnership with schools and youth organisations, our programmes build resilience, confidence and a sense of belonging among young people.
Through the Anti-Bullying Ambassador Programme, 1,816 young people across 193 schools were trained to identify, challenge and prevent bullying behaviour. Supported by #iWill , the programme empowers students to lead peer-driven initiatives that promote kindness, respect and safer s chool environments.
Reducing Social and Economic Barriers through Opportunity Creation
We remain committed to creating equitable access to education, mentoring and employment opportunities for young people who face disadvantage. During the year:
-
1,918 young people benefited from our online work experience programme, gaining valuable exposure to the world of work with support from 35 volunteer mentors .
-
316 young people participated in our 12-week mentoring programme in London and Leeds, supported by 139 mentors , who contributed over 2,400 hours of engagement to help mentees build confidence and develop career aspirations.
-Through the Social Action Accelerator Programme, 32 young people collaborated with 25 mentors across 98 structured sessions , dedicating nearly 200 hours to community projects addressing issues such as climate change, inequality and youth violence.
These interventions continue to improve employability skills, self-belief and future readiness among participating young people, helping to remove barriers to social mobility.
Enhancing Youth Voice and Agency through Recognition and Advocacy
We continue to provide platforms that amplify youth voice, celebrate positive social action and promote youth-led leadership across the world.
- The Legacy Award supported 20 global social activists and humanitarian leaders , providing ongoing coaching, mentorship and engagement with influential guest speakers.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
-
198 young changemakers from 44 countries across six continents were formally recognised through The Diana Award , joining a global network of young people driving meaningful change in their communities.
-
84 volunteer judges contributed their expertise to the selection process, upholding our founding belief that young people should b e recognised, valued and celebrated for their positive impact on society.
Looking Ahead
Our programmes collectively demonstrate the transformative power of youth-led change. Each young person we support contributes to stronger, more compassionate communities and a more equitable society.
In the year ahead, a major organisational focus will be the launch of our Decade of Youth Wellbeing (2025-2035) initiative. This global campaign aims to create systemic change by placing young people's mental health and wellbeing at the centre of education, policy and community life. Through collaboration with governments, schools, businesses and young leaders, we will drive a ten-year commitment to improving wellbeing ou tcomes and ensuring that every young person has the tools and environment to thrive.
As we look ahead to 2025/26 and beyond, our work will continue to align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals , particularly those focused on Good Health and Wellbeing (SDG 3), Quality Education (SDG 4), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10) and Climate Action (SDG 13) . We remain committed to ensuring that every young person, regardless of background, feels empowered to shape their future and contribute to a more sustainable, fair and compassionate world .
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and believe the charity meets those requirements. Our main activities and who we try to help are described above.
VOLUNTEERS
The charity relies on volunteers and donations. Our award holders volunteer with us all year round including opportunities to intern with us. Due to the number of individuals concerned, it is not felt that any reliable value can be placed on their time, so no value has been reflected in the accounts.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Fundraising activities
Members of the fundraising team organise fundraising events and co-ordinate the activities of our sponsors & events. Diana Award does not use professional fundraisers. There have been no complaints about fundraising activity this year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
Over the 2024-25 financial year, the Diana Award continued to prioritise increasing its multi years funding. Some of these initiatives were realised over the course of the period, as the charity successfully engaged new project funding across all of its programming. However, new grant funding and sponsorship income did not meet target levels and total income fell by 24%.
During the financial period, the charity received total income of £2,039,158 (2024: £2,695,057) and had total annual expenditure of £2,266,420 (2023: £2,710,409) giving a deficit for the year of £227,302 (2024 deficit: £15,352).
The increased deficit shown for this accounting period is due to income recognised in previous financial years, and credited to restricted funds, being drawn down (in accordance with the terms of the relevant grants) to cover multi-year activities, including this accounting period.
As of 31 March 2025, the total funds were £670,649 (2024: £897,951) This is made up of unrestricted funds of £ 361,995 (2024: £254,447) and restricted funds of £308,654 (2024: £643,505). Restricted funds are not available for the general purpose of the charity.
Unrestricted funds are our reserves after taking into account all restricted and designated funds.
INVESTMENT POLICY AND OBJECTIVES
The charity does not have any long-term reserves or endowments. It is therefore appropriate that any funds that are not immediately required are invested in interest bearing deposit accounts.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees are seeking to build up the reserves to a level, both to support the operations of the charity during any temporary reduction in grant income and also to enable a controlled rundown of activities, if it became no longer feasible to continue the operations of the Charity. The trustees are therefore working towards holding reserves of approximately four months' of expenditure. This position has not yet been reached.
As at 31 March 2025 the total value of funds was £670,649 (2024: £897,951) This is made up of unrestricted funds of £361,995 (2024:£254,447) and restricted funds of £308,654 (2024: £643,505). The restricted funds are not available for the general purpose of the charity. The unrestricted funds are our reserves after taking into account all restricted and designated funds
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
GOVERNING DOCUMENT
The charity is controlled by its governing document, memorandum and articles of association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 1985.
TRUSTEE RECRUITMENT, INDUCTION AND TRAINING
It is the aim of the trustees to maintain a balance of skills within the Board and this matter is under regular review. The trustees have agreed a procedure for identifying and selecting suitable candidates to join the Board. All trustees are encouraged to participate in the activities of the Board and steps are taken to ensure that all new trustees have the appropriate information in order to contribute effectively to the Board.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Diana Award has a strong, diverse, and active board of trustees supporting and guiding our organisation. They have a range of expertise across various fields to have a significant input in the governance of the organisation. The board is chaired by Rebecca Crook who co-founded and chaired Saltdean Lido CIC for six years successfully fundraising over £5million and bringing the pool and building back into use for the local community.

The board meets quarterly to review progress against agreed strategic objectives as well as review the organisational risk register including finances, in line with emerging trends.
All staff, partner organisations and trainers are DBS checked and the Diana Award will ensure that all staff working on this programme are suitably qualified and trained. The Diana Award Risk Register is part of the suite of quarterly reporting to our Board.
The leadership of The Diana Award is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, Dr Tessy Ojo CBE, who oversees the organisation's strategic and operational management.

The trustees (who are also the directors of Diana Award for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Diana Award
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Diana Award (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 10
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Diana Award
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 11
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Diana Award
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the business sector; We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, child protection, anti-bribery, employment, and health and safety legislation;
We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
Identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to look for instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Executive, and the company's legal advisors.
Page 12
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Diana Award
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. Indications from the charities forecasts & budgets show that this would be the most appropriate method.There are no significant uncertainties that exist that would make this not appropriate.
The financial statements give a true and fair view of the charity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The charity SORP (FRS 102) has been applied to give a true & fair view.
Critical accounting and judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results There are not considered to be any key assumptions concerning the future and key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year .
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received once performance conditions have been met and the amount can be measured reliably.
This method is applied to each category of income.
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the Charity has unconditional entitlement.
Grants - are recognised when the Charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Donations- are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount
Sponsorships - are recognised once the Charity has become entitled to the funds and the conditions have been met.
Training & Merchandise - are accounted for the period the transaction took place.
Legacies - are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected.
Investment Income - Interest on the bank accounts is recongnised in the profit & loss when it is earned.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Raising funds
This includes the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of items sold for fundraising purposes.
Governance costs
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Costs are allocated directly to the project to which they relate. Where the costs incurred relate to more than one project, then the costs are apportioned on a basis consistent with the resource. If staff are involved on a number of different projects then the cost is apportioned according to time spent on each project.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost
These are held at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment charges. The cost of minor additions or those below £150 are not capitalised. The assets purchased in the year were funded out of charitable funds and had no significant impact on the companies cash flow.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Donated services
During the year a number of volunteers gave up their time to help the charity with activities. It is not considered that any reliable value can be placed on the monetary value of the volunteers, for this reason no value has been reflected in the accounts.Legitimate out of pocket expenses have been paid.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Operating Leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
