Children of Achievement awards are now in their 20th year and are given to 150 children each year who, by their everyday tasks to hep others or who by their ability to overcome personal illness or disability are worthy of the title `Child of Achievement'. Each year, at a glittering presentation ceremony at the London Hilton on Park Lane, the lives of these children's are celebrated. The charity fundraises to support the awards and also makes grants and donations to help children achieve more in all walks of life.
