Beyond the Game, a stunning photographic project by Catalina Rivera, has been awarded 1st place in the Wex Photo Video Human Impact Awards.
This prestigious recognition highlights the power of visual storytelling in capturing the heart of our community and the transformative role of sports.
In collaboration with the Charity Burgess Sports, Beyond the Game documents the vibrancy, resilience, and strength of the young people and families within the Aylesbury Estate and Burgess Park. Through striking imagery, the book challenges negative media narratives, instead showcasing a community built on inclusion, engagement, and opportunity.
”This project is more than just a collection of photographs—it’s a testament to the power of sports in uniting communities and changing lives,” said Catalina Rivera. “I wanted to highlight the spirit, joy, and determination of the people who make Burgess Sports so special… We are immensely proud of this achievement, which reflects the incredible dedication of everyone involved in Burgess Sports. This award is a win for the entire community that continues to inspire and uplift each other.”
The book is now available for purchase at Clubhouse Café,1 (44 Addington Square, SE5 7LA) and Clubhouse Café 2 (94 Snowfields, SE1 3SS), with an online release coming soon.
