The most influential young people in London were last night hailed as ‘champions of their communities’ at The Spirit of London Awards 2012.

Lee Denny (25) was awarded top prize for ‘achievement in the arts’ for his work as founder and director of LeeFest Music and Arts Festival.

Recently honoured as ‘Best Independent Festival’ at the AIM Independent Music Awards 2012, the non-profit event has grown steadily since its creation in Denny’s back garden 7 years ago.

LeeFest will be on the 12th, 13th and 14th July next year, organisers have revealed. 2013 marks the first year that the grassroots event will take place over three days.
