AWARD WINNING CHILDRENS CHARITY IN ACTON, LONDON
Celebrating
21 Years of Inspiring
Young Achievers
The 21st Dr John Roberts QC CBE Achievement Awards was a truly unforgettable evening as Descendants celebrated the outstanding achievements of young people of African and Caribbean heritage from across Ealing.
From a record number of nominations to inspiring stories of resilience, determination and success, the evening showcased the incredible talent within our community and the bright future ahead.
As Founder Margaret Noel reflects, "These awards are about recognising potential, building confidence and showing our young people that they are valued, believed in and capable of achieving great things."
