It's the final! The exclusive Awards lunch on the private terrace at the House of Lords where the finalists, their friends and family gather with VIPs to find out who has won.
Laura Cook has all the stories in this special edition. Find out what went on behind the scenes at the Westminster Award Final.
The Westminster Award is a prestigious competition open to all Cadet Vocational College learners, aged 16 to 18, who have achieved a Cadet Vocational College-led BTEC Level 2 qualification in Teamwork and Personal Development in the Community. The Westminster Award recognises and rewards those learners who consistently embody the charity’s value of ‘going the extra mile’ in their everyday lives.
Each year, cadet and uniformed youth organisation leaders, alongside fellow cadets, nominate cadets who have made a positive impact on them and in their communities. The award process includes a rigorous, multi-stage selection event and a life-changing expedition, culminating in a celebratory lunch on the private terrace at the House of Lords.
The 2025 Award saw candidates competing over three weeks of activities in Somerset, Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Brecon Beacons in Wales.
