Now in their sixth year, the awards recognise the commitment, innovation and energy of those who work to support and improve the lives of children, young people and families.
Out of more than 420 entries, 21 winners were chosen by a panel of experts and a discerning line-up of young judges.
Guest speaker MP Graham Allen praised the award recipients for championing programmes that support the most vulnerable members of the community, despite the challenging climate facing services.
"We know times are tough and there is less money around, particularly in local government," he said. "But whether it is for the 120,000 so-called dysfunctional families or people caught in a summer of discontent, it is a vocation and you have got to do it. We can all sit here and complain or we can get stuck in, which is what you are doing and what the winners here tonight have done."
