Alex Holmes receives OBE for contributions to youth

Alex Holmes, the deputy chief executive of the Diana Award, received an OBE at Windsor Castle from the Prince of Wales. This honor was given for his work supporting young people, especially through his anti-bullying ambassadors programme, which he started at the age of 16. Holmes, now 36, expressed that the award is for young people who have faced bullying but may not see their own strengths. He mentioned that he is proud of the young people he has supported over the years. He also noted that his mother, who passed away last year, would have been proud. The Diana Award was established 25 years ago to honor the legacy of Diana, the late Princess of Wales. The charity focuses on empowering young people to make a positive change in the world.
