Young Human Rights Fundraiser Awards

Amnesty's Young Human Rights Fundraiser awards inspire young people to develop new skills and have fun raising vital funds to support our human rights work.

These awards recognise young people's innovation, energy and effectiveness at holding fundraising events as whole school projects or as part of an Amnesty youth group.

Find out how to fundraise for Amnesty in your school including free resources to download and order, plus ideas, advice and inspiration.

"Our Amnesty group has been very enthusiastic this year and has been involved in many events both within the school and the community. As well as raising money, we have also raised awareness of the important work carried out by Amnesty."
Brian Gibson, teacher, Stewarton Academy
