Local businesses are being invited to sponsor the fifth annual Young Ealing Foundation Awards as the charity prepares for one of Ealing’s most prestigious and biggest celebrations of young people, youth workers and community organisations.
More than 300 guests are expected to attend the awards ceremony on 1 October 2026, which recognises the achievements of young people alongside the charities, youth workers and community groups supporting them across the borough.
The event has become a prominent fixture in Ealing’s community calendar, bringing together residents, schools, businesses and organisations from across Ealing’s seven towns — Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale and Southall.
Organisers are now seeking sponsorship support from local businesses to help keep tickets free for young people, youth workers and families who may not otherwise be able to attend.
Speaking to EALING.NEWS, Elly Heaton, chief executive officer of Young Ealing Foundation, said: “We want this year’s ceremony to be the best yet, with even more fantastic nominations and guests.
“We remain committed to making sure the tickets are free, so it is inclusive for children and youth workers, especially families who wouldn’t normally get to go. But we can’t do this without the support of local businesses like you who want to demonstrate that they care about young people and their future.”
The foundation said a number of sponsorship packages are available, including opportunities for businesses to attend a VIP reception with local business leaders and senior public sector decision-makers.
