We are delighted to welcome esteemed guests to the Workforce Celebration Evening 2024, supported by the City of London Corporation, at their impressive and historic Livery Hall. This event highlights the outstanding contributions of the London Youth Games community, including the 2024 LYG33 cohort, GamesForce volunteers, and other key individuals who have significantly impacted both the London Youth Games and wider sport across London.

We are honoured to be hosting this evening at the historic Guildhall, a venue that has welcomed royalty, state visitors, and notable civic events throughout its long history. We extend our sincere thanks to the City of London Corporation for providing such a prestigious setting for tonight’s celebration.

For 47 years, the London Youth Games have been an amazing celebration of young Londoners, bringing together communities across generations in a spirit of mutual respect, confidence, and trust. The evening offers an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the positive impact of a range of individuals on young Londoners through support of and involvement in the Games.

The evening will begin with reflections on the 2023/24 season and presentations by LYG33, including performances and the awarding of graduate certificates to this year’s team members. LYG33 has been at the heart of shaping the future of sport in the capital, engaging in co-production groups that have made a direct impact on both the Games and the wider sporting community.

We will also celebrate and induct LYG Alumni into our growing Hall of Fame which celebrates amazing talent that have taken part in the London Youth Games.

The second half of the evening will recognise the invaluable contributions of our GamesForce volunteers and present special recognition awards to outstanding inclusive coaches and leaders within our community.

Our work would not be possible without the support of our partners and funders, including Sport England, School Games, London Sport, Mayor of London, City Bridge Foundation, The City of London Corporation, Rosterfy, and Peter Harrison Foundation.

As we look forward across the next three years to our 50th anniversary, we’re excited about continuing to deliver the London 2012 legacy pledge to inspire a generation and ensuring the London Youth Games is where young people can thrive alongside their communities.

But we need your support to continue empowering young people. Your donation can help us provide even more opportunities for young leaders to develop their skills, make their voices heard, and create positive change.
