The Philip Lawrence Awards 2009

This Assembly believes that young people across Wales are contributing positively to their communities, to the economy and to society in general. 

This Assembly is concerned that too often young people are depicted in a negative way in our press and media which can impact negatively on social self esteem and the perceptions of young people.

This Assembly notes the excellent work of the Philip Lawrence Awards, which promotes the positive contribution and portrayal of young people, and encourages schools and youth projects to promote the Awards as a way of celebrating the true image of young people in Wales.
