Working on a project where children and young people have influenced the social value created through a place or development?

This category is likely a good fit.

This category is about impact — not just activity.
What changed as a result of their involvement?

This includes work where children and young people contribute to the wider social outcomes of a project — such as community benefit, opportunity, wellbeing, or long-term value.

Their input might influence how a project delivers social impact, who benefits, or how value is defined and realised over time.

The focus is on projects connected to real places, where their involvement has informed outcomes beyond the physical design.

What this includes

• Input shaping how social value is defined or delivered

• Contributions influencing who benefits from a project

• Feedback affecting programmes, opportunities, or outcomes

• Involvement informing how value is created and measured

What counts

If children and young people influenced the social value created through a project or place, it counts.

This counts

• Input that shaped how social impact is delivered or experienced

• Contributions influencing opportunities, access, or benefit

• Young people informing who benefits and how

• Involvement leading to changes in programmes or outcomes

This doesn’t (on its own)

• Activity presented as social value without evidence of impact

• Engagement not connected to outcomes or benefit

• Participation where there is no evidence of influence

• Programmes without connection to a place or development

If your work spans multiple areas, choose the category that best reflects what changed.

Eligibility

You can submit as a client, public body, or project partner — not just a delivery organisation.
