Some young people are fighting battles people never see. Yet they still show up. Still lead. Still create. Still push forward. The Legacy Youth Awards exists for them. On 8 December 2026, we’ll be celebrating young people across Islington, Hackney, Camden, and Haringey who are making an impact through leadership, education, entrepreneurship, creativity, sport, and community action. This is more than an awards night. It’s about recognition. Opportunity. Connection. And showing young people that their story matters. Over 1,200 nominations. Young people connected to mentors, opportunities, paid work, and long-term support. A room full of people choosing to invest into the next generation. We’re now looking for partners, sponsors, organisations, and businesses who want to stand with young people and be part of something with real impact. If that’s you, send us a DM. #LegacyYouthAwards #NorthLondon #YouthLeadership #CommunityImpact #JigsawGC #YoungPeople #Mentoring #SocialImpact #Islington #Hackney #Camden #Haringey

🎉 Big news from our Youth Advisory Group! 🎉 Young people representing their community in Finsbury Park have successfully secured a £1,000 grant from Islington’s Standing Together initiative! 💛 With this funding, they designed a 4-week series of youth-led workshops on the Andover Estate — promoting opportunity, safety, and empowerment for local young people. 🙌 ✨ Last week’s highlight: We hosted Abdul Krim from Solution Focussed World CIC, who delivered a powerful and engaging workshop on financial exploitation — how it happens, how to spot it, and how to stay safe. An essential session in today’s world, especially as financial exploitation can have lifelong impacts. 💡

The Kickback Youth Advisory Group is made up of inspiring young people from Finsbury Park, taking on paid ambassador roles that give them a real voice in shaping local change. 💬✨ Last week, our YAG travelled to South London to partner with @activecn for Part 1 of their training — preparing to lead a peer-led research project that connects directly with other young people to explore what’s most valued and needed in their community. A huge thank you to Innovation Unit for delivering such an engaging and insightful workshop and training session! 🙏 This important work is part of the @londonvru MyEnds programme 💡 With this first stage complete, they’re now ready to head out and gather real, honest feedback from their peers. We can’t wait to see what insights they uncover! 👀 💌 Aged 16–25 and from Finsbury Park (or nearby)? Want to become a Youth Ambassador?
