The first Dwayne Simpson Foundation Inspirational Youth Award will be presented along with the annual Dwaynamics boxing club youth awards at an event in Lambeth Assembly Hall – part of the town hall in Brixton – on Saturday 7 September.

Up to 100 young people will be recognised for completing the Dwaynamics ABC 12-week non-contact programme, as will inspirational youths who have become beacons in Lambeth for achieving life-changing positive impacts.

The event, from 2 to 6pm, will be attended by the Mayor of Lambeth, Ibrahim Dogus, and other dignitaries and will be a special event for Pastor Lorraine Jones, who founded Dwaynamics in memory of her son Dwayne who was murdered in Brixton five years ago.
