I’m guessing that this will be my final plug for the Mentor UK CHAMP Awards, unless Derek (who manages them) finds another way of getting my attention.
“One of the most pleasing aspects of winning the 2006 Mentor UK award is that it has led to requests for us to expand the number of schools that receive the programme and we now offer alcohol awareness programmes to the whole of the East of Glasgow. Other areas of Glasgow are also showing an interest. Since winning the award people are taking notice. Minds are being changed” (GEEAP, 2006 winner of the Schools category)
This is the final reminder for the 2008 Mentor UK CHAMP Awards (Promoting Children’s Health through Alcohol Misuse Prevention).
The Mentor UK CHAMP Awards recognises projects that can help prevent children and young people from misusing alcohol by promoting healthy attitudes and behaviours. Remember, there’s 60k worth of awards available and projects could be as diverse as classroom based prevention work, sports schemes, youth club initiatives, mentoring projects or websites created by young people – in fact anything that helps young people avoid the dangers of alcohol misuse both now and in their future lives.
If you think your project merits an award then we need to hear from you no later than 20th April, 2008. For an application, guidance notes and the inspirational stories behind the 2006 winners, please go to the Mentor UK CHAMP Awards website at
