Celebrating the 2026 Kensington & Chelsea GLL Sport Foundation Awards
What an incredible evening at Chelsea Old Town Hall celebrating the amazing sporting talent we have across the borough.
The GLL Sport Foundation Awards brought together local athletes, partners and supporters to recognise the hard work, dedication and achievements of the next generation of sporting stars.
This year, 30 Kensington & Chelsea athletes across 11 sports have been supported through the Foundation, receiving a combined support value of £22,690 (£4,600 cash and £18,090 in-kind support).
A highlight of the evening was hearing from our inspiring athletes, including national champions and future Olympic hopefuls, who shared their journeys and the difference this support makes. With 93% of supported athletes receiving no other central funding, the GLL Sport Foundation continues to play a vital role in helping talented athletes access the facilities and opportunities they need to succeed.
We were also delighted to hear a special message from GLL Sport Foundation Ambassadors Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson, who shared how the Foundation has supported their journey from developing athletes to competing on the world stage.
Huge congratulations to all of our supported athletes, your commitment, passion and determination are truly inspiring. We’re proud to support you as you continue working towards your goals.
A special thank you to the Mayor of Kensington & Chelsea, our partners, volunteers and everyone involved in making the evening such a fantastic celebration of local sporting excellence.
Here’s to supporting today’s talent and inspiring tomorrow’s champions.
