Sported and London Youth Games recognise unsung community champions through support of London Sport Awards

London Sport is delighted to have Sported and London Youth Games join a growing roster of organisations showing their support for community sport and physical activity through the London Sport Awards.

UK-wide charity Sported will support The Young Londoners Award while London Youth Games will be recognising the role of volunteers across the capital.
