Impact Awards

Every year, teams from dozens of companies across London and the UK volunteer with us to improve London’s iconic adventure playgrounds. The Impact Awards help celebrate their incredible contributions and the positive impact they’ve had on community projects across London.

This event is your chance to be recognised for your commitment to preserving adventure play, as well as an opportunity to meet like-minded volunteers, playground managers, young people and other various stakeholders from across the capital.

London Play Design’s

2nd Annual Impact Awards

This year was hosted by our partner, Informa

Tuesday, 24 February 2026

At London Play Design, our ability to support adventure playgrounds is strengthened each year by the dedication of our volunteer community—and every year, you continue to inspire us. Our annual celebration event is a special moment for us to thank you in person for your generous support and to honour the meaningful partnerships that grow through your involvement.

This yearly gathering also offers a chance to connect with like‑minded volunteers from organisations across London, meet playground managers, and hear directly from the young people whose lives have been enriched by your time, energy, and enthusiasm.

We look forward to celebrating with you at our annual event next year!
