Young Ealing Foundation Awards 2025


On Thursday 24th September, we hosted our, biggest yet, fourth 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 Young Ealing Foundation CEO Elly Heaton, alongside a stellar line-up of award presenters including leader of the Council, Cllr Josh Blacker, Deridre Costigan MP, Cllr Bassam Mahfouz, and many more. Ten 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.

With over 350 attendees, including youth workers, councillors, and local leaders, the evening showcased the very best of Ealing’s young talent. West London Performing Arts Academy, Elena Mitreva Ballet School, Mo Moon, TAIYE and The Proper Project 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, Mulalley and Lets Leap Sports Academy.
