Somerset Anne Frank Youth Awards (SAFYA) are back with the awards for this year.

The awards recognise the great achievements of young people across Somerset who demonstrate the awards three core values, which are inspired by Anne Frank herself

The SAFYA’s are run each year and award the young people of Somerset for demonstrating these values and making their community a better place. The awards hope this recognition can be used as a platform to make a wider positive difference.

Alongside this, they have recently launched an annual Creative Writing Award.
