E tenebris lux. From the darkness (comes) light.

Why Are We Involved

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

What The Campaigns Is Seeking

The Damilola Taylor Trust have developed the awards in consultation with other youth organisations and affiliate partners as a way of celebrating all that is good about the young people of London. Too often a minority element hogs the headlines and creates an impression of negativity, yet there are plenty of champions working hard in their local communities.

The Trust felt there should be an awards show that celebrated these positive role models. The long term objective is that the awards will become a standard that all young people will aspire to be involved with and gain recognition through.

The awards are therefore intended to deliver exactly what it says on the tin in affect. The Spirit of London, encapsulated in its finest young people. The awards will be open to individuals or groups of young people who work together to make their local communities better places.

What Can You Do To Help

Support anyone you think should be recognised by their peers. Anyone is eligible for nomination (as long as they live in London) and there are plenty of different categories to choose from. The inaugural awards show were amazing with Sir Micheal Caine,  London Mayor Boris Johnson and Vernon Coaker MP  mixing with artists such as Diversity,  JLS, DJ Ironik, Speech DeBelle, Miss Frank and our own Lemar.

Families Utd were represented by the Founding Families  who presented The Families Utd Role Model of the Year Award.
