Youth charity StreetDoctors was the big winner on the night (Thursday 28 November), taking home two awards.
It won the Youth Volunteering and Social Action Award for its Young Healthcare Volunteers scheme which has trained thousands of young people to become ‘street doctors’ equipping them with the skills to cope if they found someone that had been stabbed or unconscious.
StreetDoctors also triumphed in the Partnership Working Award category for its part in the North West Lifesavers initiative, which alongside the Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership and Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit worked with schools, youth clubs and youth justice teams to run in-person training with groups of young people.
