Charity Awards 2024

Charity Awards 2018 opens for applications

The Charity Awards, the UK’s longest-running awards for the charity sector, will open for applications again today.

Charity Awards trophySince 2000, the Charity Awards has recognised charities with innovative and effective interventions which the rest of the sector can learn from.

The Awards provide a perfect opportunity for you to propel your charity’s work into the spotlight, to influence policy-makers and funders, and to showcase the quality of your project or initiative.

The 19th annual awards will have Rathbones as the overall awards partner, and the Charities Aid Foundation as an awards supporter. The application deadline is Friday 23 February. 

Application forms are available here.

You may enter any type of project or campaign and it will be judged by a distinguished panel of sector leaders against entries from other organisations in your own sector.

The judges will assess each entry against our six Hallmarks of Excellence.

Judging will take place in April and the shortlist will be announced on civilsociety.co.uk and charityawards.co.uk on Wednesday 9 May. 

The Charity Awards programme will culminate in a sparkling gala presentation ceremony and dinner on Thursday 7 June, at The Pavilion, in the grounds of the Tower of London.
