What
are the Awards categories?
Whether you
are an individual, a company or a public body if you are
passionate about social change there is a category to
recognise your efforts. There are four Awards:
Everyday Impact Award
We all have a story about someone who gets off their backside
and achieves something positive for the cause they care about.
These are the people or organisations that have a clear vision
for change. They engage and involve others to bring about real
and concrete results that can be seen and felt on a daily basis.
An everyday impact could be made by a person who devises a recreation
scheme for communities around the country to engage young people
in football.
Influencer
Award
This award is for the individual or organisation that really knows
which buttons to press to make things happen. This could be an
organisation that has campaigned for a change in law or an individual
who has encouraged several distinct groups to work together and
achieve what might have seemed impossible. We want to acknowledge
the determination and hard work required to communicate clearly,
put forth a persuasive argument and win people over to bring about
positive change.
Investing in Social Change Award
The winner of this category could be a not-for-profit organisation,
a commercial company, or an individual donor. They will have really
thought hard about the ways in which they can best invest their time, skills
or money to achieve social change. By assessing the need, bringing
others on board and making effective use of their resources, they
turn rhetoric into reality and achieve a real difference.
Public
Body Award
This award is for the public body that has worked most effectively with
the community to achieve shared social change objectives, such as a parish council, a local authority, a municipal
leisure centre or a central government department. The award will
recognise the challenges these organisations have overcome using
their influence and intelligence
to improve the quality of people's lives and help people work
together for the benefit of the community.
