We’re excited to open nominations for the Surrey Youth Voice Awards 2025!
These awards celebrate young people in Surrey who make a difference for themselves or others.
Who we want to hear about
Do you know a young person or group who has:
- made a change or improved something for themselves?
- helped others in a positive way?
- spoken up for other young people?
If yes, please tell us about them.
Nominations close at midday on Friday 3 October
Anyone can nominate. This includes:
- professionals
- parents or carers,
- other young people
This is your chance to recognise someone who goes the extra mile.
Nominees must be aged 7 to 25. They must also:
- live in Surrey
- access services in Surrey, or
- be a care-experienced young person or care leaver placed outside Surrey
You can nominate an individual or a group. If it's a group, tell us how many people are in it. If it's one person, they must agree to share their contact details so we can get in touch.
Every nominee will get an award.
About the award ceremony
The ceremony will take place on Saturday 6 December.
We have space for 150 guests. We will give places on a first-come, first-served basis.
Don't worry if you can’t come to the ceremony, we'll still send your certificate to you.
