The Champions of Respect Awards 2006


The Champions of Respect


Trevor Phillips speaking at the Temple AddressThe 2006 Champions of Respect Awards were presented by Trevor Phillips, Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality, at the Evangelical Alliance’s 6th Annual Temple Address in London on Wednesday 15 November. The overall winner also received the Anthony Walker Memorial Prize, presented by Mrs Gee Walker in memory of her son who was tragically killed in July 2005.

The Alliance has established these awards to honour young men and women who demonstrate respect in their communities and the wider society. The young people nominated challenge the negative stereotypes often portrayed about youth.

Two Champions of Respect awards were presented, for those aged 10 to 16 and 17 to 25. Each winner received £250 for themselves plus a further £250 for a good cause of their choice.

The standard of entries this year was exceptionally high and the panel of judges had a difficult task finding a winner and runner-up from such a strong field.
