Annual Hull City Council awards celebrating the achievements of the city's young people, with a focus on care-experienced youth during National Care Leavers Month.
The Blue Diamond Awards are back at Hull City Hall on Thursday 12 November, the council's annual awards celebrating the successes and achievements of the city's young people. The ceremony puts a particular focus on those who are care-experienced, and it falls during National Care Leavers Month, which the council says is a chance to celebrate care-experienced young people, raise awareness of the challenges they face and highlight the support available to help them thrive.
Cllr Linda Tock, the council's portfolio holder for children's services, has said that the council and the city stand with care leavers to ensure their voices, ambitions and futures matter. It's a night that's as much about the people as the awards themselves, and it's held in one of the city's biggest rooms, so there's plenty of space for the families and friends who'll be there to cheer on the winners.
There's a bit of a visual to the night, too: Hull City Hall is expected to turn blue on the day of the awards, a nod to the name and a signal that the whole building is getting in on the celebration. The event is supported by Hull College, KWL, Nurture a Child and the council's regeneration team, so it's a broad cross-section of the city coming together around it.
