Young Ealing Foundation Awards 2024
On Thursday 19th July, we hosted our third annual Awards Ceremony at the stunning, Grade II listed Ealing Community Centre. The event celebrated the incredible achievements of young people in the borough and highlighted the innovative work of the organisations and youth workers who support them.
The evening was co-hosted by Ealing Young Champion, Emily Bunder and Westside Talent's Jojo Silva, alongside a stellar line-up of award presenters including leader of the Council, Cllr Peter Mason, Rupa Huq MP, Cllr Bassam Mahfouz, and many more. Fifteen awards were given out in total.
Special congratulations to the award winners and nominees, all of whom continue to make a profound impact in their communities. As Hollywood actor Will Poulter said in his video message on the night: “The winning is in the honour of the work you are doing.” Whether you take home an award or not, you're all winners.
With over 270 attendees, including youth workers, councillors, and local leaders, the evening showcased the very best of Ealing’s young talent. Ealing Street Dance Academy, C2, Just Add Water, Corni, Carlos, and Voices Singing School gave electric performances, reminding everyone of the immense creative talent within our community.
The event would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC), Freshwater Foundation, Kirby Group Engineering, Miindfulness, and Lets Leap Sports Academy.
