The awards celebrate the impact of HLF grants on heritage projects, including the outstanding contribution of young people to protecting and preserving their heritage. The winner of the Young People category was 'Carving History at the Wilderness', a project led by Gloucestershire County Council's archaeology service that has helped young people to learn about archaeology and their local historic environment, then use that knowledge to create stone sculptures. The seven stones are four metres tall, weigh nearly 10 tonnes and have become new local landmarks.
Two other projects were recognised in the awards. 'Wild about Lorton' involved young people from the Weymouth area working with the Dorset Wildlife Trust to encourage local volunteering in the Lorton Meadows nature reserve.
