Trophies were presented to Youth Inclusion Programme, winners of "It's a Knockout", Clayton/Queensbury Youth Group, winners of "Summer Fusion" and Bradford Academy/Youth Base, winners of Champion's Challenge.

The most prestigious award was given to Emily Clark as "Outdoor Education Achiever of the Year" for her outstanding efforts in a variety of programmes supporting, mentoring, promoting and enthusing others to take part in outdoor activity.
