The Yorkshire Young Achievers awards mark the efforts of young people in seven categories, from the arts to sport, and are organised by the Yorkshire Young Achievers Foundation.

Mead was unable to attend the ceremony due to involvement with an England training camp – it was picked up on her behalf by ex-Leeds United star Andy Hughes.
