Awards Network

The NfAYPA was formed in 1998 by The National Youth Agency together with a range of key national accrediting bodies in informal education to foster cooperation and professional knowledge-sharing between organisations.

The Network's remit is to bring together organisations that manage the delivery of national Awards programmes in non-formal education settings, together with other agencies that support the work of these organisations, in order to promote the value of Awards in contributing to young people’s learning and achievement. Over 500,000 young people each year voluntarily engage in the Awards programmes run by Network members. The delivery of the Awards spans formal and non-formal educational settings. They are often delivered in partnership with other agencies.
