Who were the judges for this year’s Awards?

The Room for Young People Inspiration Awards are judged this year by Inspirechilli’s Team Young People, a collective of graduates from the Bootstrap Charity’s social enterprise programme in East London with different lived experiences of overcoming disadvantage. Colin Falconer, Director of Inspirechilli, established the Team as a space to collaborate with and provide opportunities for young people to benefit their own social ventures while informing Inspirechilli’s asset-based consultancy offer.

A key principle of Team Young People is that members are always paid for their skills, insights and time, with access to ongoing peer and mentor support. The Team’s skill base in graphic design, film, youth-led training, research and mental health expertise continues to inform Inspirechilli’s work. The Team’s biggest achievement to date has been to conduct research that led to the establishment of the Opportunity Fund led by Blagrave Trust and Paul Hamlyn Foundation.

Individual members of the team feature two young people who won the ‘enterprise’ and ‘breakthrough’ categories at past Inspiration Awards, including Bea Herbert who is the founder of States of Mind, a social enterprise supported by the National Lottery Community Fund. The Team reflect the youthful innovation spirit of InspireChilli and bring a savvy perspective as enthusiastic judges for inspiration in the sector.
