what our volunteers say

Doing photography for London Youth Games has helped me to restore my self-confidence in my photography abilities. It’s given me a platform to express my creativity, which gave back to me a sense of purpose, belonging and self-worth which I thought I had lost.”

I love being a volunteer because I love meeting new people and getting to explore different parts of London that I wouldn't otherwise.

I have managed to get a videographer role at my local football club and I am loving every second of it. None of this would have been possible without the support and guidance of London Youth Games so a massive thank you for giving me that opportunity
