2004 Whitbread Young Achievers were:

ARTS
Kirsty Munro
Kirsty Munro set up art and drama workshops for the homeless while she studied drama at Birmingham University. They proved incredibly popular and although she has now graduated, the projects still continue.

The judges said: "Kirsty saw a problem and did something about it, using her own passion for the arts to address a social need. Young people like Kirsty are what this award is all about."

COMMUNITY
Mohammed Mamdani
Mohammed Mamdani was 18 when he identified a vacuum of support for young British Muslims and, believing that peer support would be the best way of building trust with young people and bridging the generation gap within the community, launched the Muslim Youth Helpline (MYH).

The judges said: "Mohammed is an inspirational example of what young volunteers can do in their communities, through determination and commitment. This is a project that is making a real difference to hundreds of lives."

ENVIRONMENT
Emma Stones
Emma Stones campaigned tirelessly to protect her local park when its play area was threatened, and raised funds to provide more facilities for young people.

The judges said: "Emma’s commitment to the project impressed all of us. Environmental work needs people who are prepared to sit on committees and strive for political change as much as the field workers."

SPORTS
Robbie Paulin
Robbie Paulin, 18, won for his passion and determination to spread American football across the highlands of Scotland.

The judges said: "Robbie's lists of achievements speak for themselves and to do all this at such a young age is even more remarkable. He has not only worked hard and achieved tangible results but helped others get the same pleasure out of the sport as he has."
