		The Award aims to increase young people’s self-confidence and self-esteem, leadership skills, decision-making and problem-solving skills, as well as increase their motivation and give them a sense of achievement and enjoyment.
		Award Officers at OA level were unlikely to be involved in recruitment and so rarely had a record of recruitment needs or volunteer requirements.
