Best of Development Companies
Developers, housing associations, investors, and other caring clients who, through initiatives they have commissioned or supported—whether at an organisational level or within specific projects—have helped create outstanding activities that engage children and young people in participating in built environment projects.
Criteria:
Impact: What meaningful difference has your project made? Describe the tangible benefits to children and young people, provide evidence of outcomes, and explain how you measured success. Demonstrate how effectively the project met, or exceeded, its stated objectives.
Insights: What valuable knowledge or best practices have emerged from your initiative? Share how you identified and applied these lessons, how you have communicated them to others, the breadth of the initiative’s reach, and how you addressed challenges along the way.
Metrics: Provide clear quantitative data that illustrates the scale and engagement of your project. Include the number of children and young people involved, participant retention throughout the programme, and key timelines such as the project’s start and duration.
Reflection: Reflect on how engaging with children and young people has influenced you, your team, or your organisation. Discuss changes in your own practice, shifts in perspective, or ways the experience has shaped your approach to future work.
Open to all development companies.
The submission form includes a few concise but targeted questions about your organisation and how it has developed approaches to engaging children and young people. Judges understand the limited time applicants have — being clear and succinct will work in your favour!
