Last week we were tasked with the exciting job of reading through a big pile of nominations to come up with this year’s Longlist. We’re pleased to be able to tell you the names of the 2009 stars below. Every single person deserves a great deal of recognition for their commitment and we’re incredibly impressed with all the achievements we’ve read about.
For each award – sports, environment, arts or community there are seven people for the two age categories. Four will make the shortlist with a chance to win £1,000 for personal and project development. The final three in each category are commended young people.
