The Spirit of London Awards celebrates the achievements of young people from all four corners of London who are champions of their local communities. Through the UK young campaigner of the Year award category it also now has a national reach amongst the youth of Britain.

The awards show is staged on a par with the greatest of standards the UK has created such as the BRITS and the BAFTAS – “Why should young people not be put on a pedestal from time to time” as Sir Michael Caine said at the first awards night in 2009. Every young person lucky enough to be short- listed as a nominee becomes a SOLA Ambassador and honorary member of the SOLA Foundation.
