Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, said,

'These awards recognise the excellent work happening across London at a local level that too often goes unnoticed - I'd like to extend my congratulations to the winners for their brilliant projects.

'Finding ways to get people to look after their own health and well being is vital if we are going to have an impact on reducing health inequalities across London. I look forward to working closely with the voluntary and community sector and the London Health Commission to deliver my Health Inequalities Strategy.'
