Zakir Khan, Sports Development Officer for Canary Wharf Limited, says, “The achievements and dedication of these young people are all the more significant because the borough is historically associated with poverty and deprivation. As a company based in Tower Hamlets, Canary Wharf Group has intended to highlight how sporting opportunities have helped young people to overcome these adversities and act as role models for others in the community.”
