Celebrating Young People. Honouring Courage. Inspiring Hope.
Join us for a powerful and uplifting evening as the Julian Campbell Foundation hosts the Youth Awards Ball 2026 — a celebration of young people, mentors, families, schools, partners and supporters who are making a difference in youth wellbeing.
This special evening will bring together community leaders, businesses, educators, parents, young people and friends of the Foundation for a night of celebration, inspiration and impact.
About the Evening
The Youth Awards Ball is more than an awards ceremony. It is a night to honour resilience, courage, leadership, creativity and community contribution. We will celebrate young people who are overcoming challenges, mentors who are giving their time to support others, and partners who are helping us build a future where young people feel seen, heard and supported.
Through awards, live entertainment, dinner, fundraising and powerful stories of transformation, the evening will raise vital funds for the Julian Campbell Foundation’s work in mental health mentoring, youth wellbeing, parent support and early intervention.

Why This Ball Matters
The Julian Campbell Foundation was created in memory of Julian Campbell, with a mission to help stamp out teen suicide and empower young people to manage their wellbeing. Through our Mood Mentoring programme, Acting Up! psychodrama workshops, parent support and school-based wellbeing work, we support young people to build emotional resilience, express themselves safely and access support before crisis point.
The Youth Awards Ball will help us continue this life-changing work. Every ticket, donation and sponsorship package helps us reach more young people, more families and more schools.
