The Beyond Sport Awards 2014, held at The Beyond Sport Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, will see the inaugural Beyond Sport Special Recognition. The Special Recognition has been created to celebrate organisations and projects that did not make the shortlist for the Beyond Sport Awards but who we feel need celebrating due to the fantastic work they are doing using sport to create positive social change around the world.
