IMPACT celebrates performers at glittering Perivale ceremony

IMPACT Theatre staged its annual “Oscars” ceremony in Perivale earlier this month (6 March 2026), celebrating the achievements of neurodivergent performers and artists across Ealing and west London.

The awards evening, at the Royal Nawaab, brought together performers, industry figures and local dignitaries for what organisers described as a showcase of creativity and inclusion. Video messages were sent by a number of high-profile figures unable to attend, including footballer Chloe Kelly and actors Alice Eve, Sharon Maughan, Trevor Eve, Adrian Dunbar and Kerry Godliman.

Awards across 32 categories were presented by guests including BAFTA-winning set designer Eve Stewart, actor and choreographer Kat B, and film composer Emily Rice. Directors Brett Fallis and Anthony Thomas were also among those handing out prizes.

The Mayor of Ealing, Anthony Kelly, attended alongside the borough’s deputy lieutenant Richard Kornicki and several councillors.

The ceremony concluded with music and signed dance performances, followed by a disco.

Kim Mughan, IMPACT’s artistic director, said: “Oscar celebrations at IMPACT take a lot of organising, and support from many people. However, when the night arrives it is so worthwhile seeing the ecstatic looks on the faces of our performers and artists and their families when their achievements and efforts are celebrated at such a glittering occasion.”
