As mentioned on the news page, we've been nominated for the Beyond Sport London Legacy Awards. Five projects are competing for the award, looking for the project that best uses sport as a vehicle for positive social change. The awards are in partnership with the Evening Standard who have written a piece about the five nominees.
Obviously they're all very worthy projects and may the best project win. If anyone is undecided who to vote for then...

A few months ago we achieved accredited status for our mentoring scheme through the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation. We wrote about it then on the London News Page and now they have written a little bit about us.
