Deputy Lieutenant Certificate Scheme nominations open
The nomination process is currently open for Deputy Lieutenant Certificate submissions, the deadline being 31 January 2025. This scheme is open to all YOU London organisations.
Deputy Lieutenant Certificates are awarded to young people (aged 15 or over on 31 January 2025) who are members of a uniformed youth group to give recognition to their achievements within their organisation and to create an awareness of their contribution within the community. Nominations should be completed initially by unit commanders, then sent to the next level up to put forward ideally one or two candidates from each organisation per borough. Final submissions should be submitted by regional headquarters, to ensure consistency across the region. Candidates should be assessed not only on their professional performance but on personal qualities, social responsibility and success in other fields such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and other awards and education or sporting achievements.
To be eligible for a certificate, a young person must belong to a group or unit situated within the boundary of a London borough. Framed Deputy Lieutenant Certificates will be presented by the Representative Deputy Lieutenant for that borough during the course of 2025. Presentation events vary widely from visits to units, to a joint presentation with the Mayor.
