💜 Proud Sports — a Recognised Project at the London Dangoor Awards 2026
Some moments are special not because you win something, but because you realise that the work you have been quietly doing has been seen.
We’re incredibly proud that Proud Sports has been recognised as a Recognised Project at the London Dangoor Awards 2026, alongside community projects from across London.
Seeing Proud Sports listed on that page — among organisations doing meaningful work in their own communities — was a very special moment for us.
We’re not a huge organisation.
We don’t have a big team or a big marketing budget.
We are a community-led organisation built around a simple idea:
Everyone deserves somewhere they can belong.
A place where you don’t have to explain yourself.
A place where you don’t have to fit a label.
A place where you can simply show up.
Sometimes that means badminton, tennis, table tennis or pickleball.
Sometimes it means hiking.
Sometimes it means sitting quietly together with a book.
And sometimes, it simply means knowing that someone will say hello when you walk through the door.
Because community is about much more than activities.
It is about connection, dignity, friendship and belonging.
Since 2023, we’ve tried to build Proud Sports by community, for community — one session, one conversation and one person at a time.
No Labels Attached.
Move people. Change lives.
This recognition is not just about Proud Sports.
It belongs to every volunteer, member, community partner and every person who has ever walked through our doors. 💜
Thank you to the London Dangoor Awards for recognising the work happening within London’s communities.
And thank you to our community for continuing to believe in what we are building together.
This is only another chapter. 📖💜
