About the British Citizen Youth Award

The BCyA is now in its ninth year. It is open to individuals under 18 who are committed to helping others and is seen as the nation’s way of recognising exceptional young people.

It is both heartening and uplifting to know that so many young people are consciously contributing to causes such as the environment, climate change, education, and creating awareness and fundraising for hospitals, medical research and charities.

Last year, Peter Cordwell from Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire ACF, received the British Citizen Youth Award Medal of Honour.

ACCT UK: Empowering Army Cadets and Celebrating Young Heroes

As a charity dedicated to helping young people learn new skills and build confidence through their Army Cadet experience, we’re inspired by these young changemakers. Their dedication to improving their communities aligns closely with our values (Abiding, Committed, Courageous, Trustworthy).

ACCT UK takes pride in army cadets and adult volunteers. We recognise and celebrate their contributions in non-military activities.
