The NASSA Partnership of the Year went to London Sport Academy, while NASSA also recognised longstanding local partners Tate & Lyle Sugars, London ExCeL, London City Airport and the Mercers Company with special NASSA Inspirational Partner Awards
Special NASSA Gold Awards were presented to Sir Stephen Timms and Jeremy Rees, Chief Executive of London ExCeL.
NASSA Founder and Chief Executive Natasha Hart MBE said:
“Words are not enough to recognise the contributions that all of the winners have made to NASSA over the past year.
“The young people, parents, volunteers and the NASSA coaches all play such a vital role in NASSA’s success. Without its wonderful people, NASSA simply wouldn’t exist and we wouldn’t be able to support hundreds of local disadvantaged young people every year through our mentoring programmes.
“Our long-term partners are just as valued by NASSA. It is not just the funding they commit to NASSA every year, but their passion and dedication to the communities they serve.”
