Innovative Award scheme aimed at recognising projects in England, Scotland and Wales that help prevent children and young people of 14 and under from misusing alcohol - both now and in the future.

You can nominate your own project or someone else's and activities might, for example be as diverse as young people putting together their own websites, classroom-based work, sports schemes or mentoring projects in the community.
Mentor will be giving out the awards, each worht £20,000 in three categories - schools, communities and young people led projects. The winners and runners up will be chosen by young people aged 14 and under.
If you know of an alcohol misuse prevetnion project that you think might be eligible then visit the Mentor UK Awards website where you can find the stories behind some of their previous winners, guidance notes and an application form.
