Register to watch the ceremony

Ten category winners, plus the recipients of the Overall Award for Excellence and the Daniel Phelan Award for Outstanding Achievement, will be announced at a gala presentation ceremony on the 3rd of July, held at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London. In addition to the in-person presentation ceremony, the 2025 Charity Awards will stream online. So if you can't join us in London, you'll still be able to celebrate the sector's achievements.

Registration is free of charge

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.
