London Youth Athletics Awards and Gala and Eventual Championships.
A non-existing event but a concept The 2011 Sports Gala will showcase exciting and innovative youngsters who have excelled in their sporting field.
The Gala is aimed at getting people interested and invigorated by athletics and celebrating our sporting achievements within the field.

We want to see every young person enjoying, excelling and living healthy lives thought sport. This means ensuring our work gets to the very heart of sporting life.
There is a growing belief that local sports run clubs can make a major contribution to our wellbeing in society – from public health and community to higher achievement in your private life.
