Entering The Charity Awards has been a genuinely great experience for us. We were impressed by how the judges took the time to really understand our charity and the work we do, and their feedback has actually made us reflect on what we do and think about it in slightly different ways. And winning the award(s) has been a huge boost for our staff, supporters, partners – and for our beneficiaries. It has opened some new doors and it has impressed our funders! We would absolutely recommend entering. Good luck.
