The SSF Awards are one of the true highlights of our year—made even more special as we excitedly look ahead to Glasgow 2026. Tonight gives us the opportunity to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our young people and the dedication of our staff. Every young person nominated is genuinely inspirational.

This evening is a chance to hear their stories and to honour this remarkable group of young people.

I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to all of tonight’s nominees, and my heartfelt thanks to the partners who support our work and to the sponsors of this year’s awards. Without their commitment, nights like this would not be possible.

Enjoy your evening!
