Chaired by Chris Sherwood, an independent judging panel of professionals who have devoted enormous amounts of energy and dedication to the sector themselves, provide expert scrutiny to ensure The Charity Awards winners really deserve the accolade. They take a range of attributes – our ‘Hallmarks of Excellence’ – into account.

Our judges are bound by a conflict policy.

Being part of these awards is one of the highlights of my year. It is both humbling and inspiring to see our sector at its best, making a real difference in communities up and down the country.
