Frances Lawrence was joined at the event on 3 December by HRH The Duchess of Kent, many MPS and peers, as well as David Blunkett MP and Lord Howard of Lympne, who have championed the Awards since they began in 1997. Representatives from past winning projects Lives Not Knives, Reclaim and Young Citizens also attended.
Speeches came from Nick Hurd MP, Minister for Civil Society, Lord McNally, Minister for Justice, HRH The Duchess of Kent and Joe Amos from Reclaim, who spoke about his PLA-winning project Streetmates.
PLAnet has been relaunched by means of a new initiative with Hindley Young Offender Institution and the Youth Justice Board to connect and support young offenders through education and resettlement, providing reparation through social action.
