Youth Buzz Awards 2025 sponsored by Thermal Road Repairs
Nominations for the Youth Buzz Awards 2025 are now open.
The Youth Buzz Awards will be taking place on the evening of Thursday 1 May 2025 in Manchester.
Manchester is working with UNICEF UK to put children’s rights into practice and become an internationally recognised ‘Child Friendly City’. We are aiming to create communities where all young people have a meaningful say in the local decisions that shape their lives.
A Child Friendly City listens to and values its young people and puts them at the heart of decision making.
