Earlier this week, @smiley__news attended the 2026 Football for Peace Gala, an event uniting the football world to advance global peacebuilding. âš½
We caught up with some of our favourite faces to discuss how football has the ability to inspire change.
(P.S There wasn’t a team rivalry in sight!)!

Last night we organised the @footballforpeace Water Gala at @celavi.london in London. It was a magical night with a fabulous host of change makers and celebrities coming together to support the Rehydrate the Earth initiative.
The people have spoken...and crowned their winner!
This year’s Grand Prix People’s Choice is RSPCA - England & Wales with their film ‘Alesha and Roy’.
After distressing CCTV footage revealed Roy being brutally beaten, the RSPCA stepped in to rescue him. Now safe in a loving home, his story is one of resilience and hope.
Too upsetting to show in full, Roy’s journey is told through Alesha - delivering a powerful, emotive film that ultimately shines a light on his recovery and happy ending.
Founded in 1824, the RSPCA continues its vital work rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals across England and Wales.
An incredible film, congratulations on taking the top spot and winning £10,000.

Drum roll please...introducing our top pick from the Judges!
This year’s Grand Prix Film of The Year and the winner of £10,000 is StreetDoctors with their film ‘The Fatal Question’.
An award-winning national charity, StreetDoctors trains over 17,000 young people affected by violence each year in life-saving emergency first aid - powered by a network of 250 healthcare volunteers.
Built on the belief that knowledge is power, they’re equipping young people with the skills to step in, save lives, and be part of the solution.
A powerful film with real-world impact. Huge congratulations on a well-deserved win.

This Earth Day, we’re proud to spotlight our work in Rajasthan, India 🇮🇳 — a powerful example of what’s possible when community, collaboration, and purpose come together.
In partnership with BA Better World, Water Stories, FIU Institute of Environment, and Tarun Bharat Sangh, we are supporting efforts to restore and protect one of our planet’s most vital resources: water.
Water is more than a resource — it is our connection to the earth, to food, to energy, and to life itself. 💧
From local knowledge to global collaboration, this project reflects the impact we can create when we work together to rehydrate our planet and empower communities.
This Earth Day, we invite you to reflect, act, and protect what sustains us all.
