A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR INCREDIBLE PRESENTERS!

The National Diversity Awards 2026 was an unforgettable celebration, and we couldn't have done it without the wonderful people who joined us on stage to help recognise this year's extraordinary changemakers!

From introducing our incredible shortlisted nominees to announcing the winners and presenting those all-important trophies, our presenters helped make every award announcement a moment to remember.

And while we're sharing some of our favourite photos of them in action, there are SO many more amazing presenters who aren't pictured here!

To every single person who took to the stage at Liverpool Cathedral, THANK YOU!

Thank you for lending your voices, sharing in the excitement and helping us give our nominees and winners the recognition they deserve.

Your support, enthusiasm and commitment to celebrating diversity and inclusion helped make #NDA26 such a special evening!

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT!

The National Diversity Awards 2026 may be over, but we’re still taking in everything that made this year’s celebration so special!

From powerful stories and emotional moments to huge cheers, new connections and some very well-deserved celebrations, it was a night that reminded us exactly why the National Diversity Awards exist.

A HUGE congratulations to all of our 2026 winners!

Your awards represent so much more than what happened on one evening. They represent the lives you’ve touched, the barriers you’ve challenged, the communities you’ve supported and the countless hours you’ve dedicated to creating change.

And to every single person on our shortlist: we hope you know just how worthy of celebration you are too! Being in a room filled with so many remarkable changemakers was something incredibly special.

We also want to say an enormous THANK YOU to everyone who made #NDA2026 possible!

To our nominees, winners, guests, sponsors, judges, performers, speakers, hosts, partners and everyone working behind the scenes, this night simply wouldn’t happen without you.

One night. Tonnes of stories. Endless moments of impact.

Now we want to hear from YOU… What was your favourite moment from the National Diversity Awards 2026?

Share yours in the comments, and keep an eye on our socials because we have plenty more #NDA2026 memories to come!

The brilliant The Choir are this evenings entertainment here at #NDA26 🤩

The choir rose to national attention on The X Factor in 2018, becoming the first choir to reach the live shows, where they were mentored by Robbie Williams.

Since then, they’ve performed alongside Robbie at major venues, featured on his Christmas album, and continued to build their own identity through uplifting, high-energy performances and original music.

Remember to share your photos and tag us so that we can re-post your joy with the world 💜✨ by @ndawards
