Overview

The heart of the Awards is the bringing together of experts that can deliver practical, free support to shortlisted candidates as well as Award winners.

 In addition, funding of £25,000 will be made available to support Award winners in developing their initiatives. At the shortlist stage the Awards will make up to ten awards of up to £2,500 to assist candidates to further develop their ideas.

Ideas may come in many forms. They may be a new-start enterprise or an extension of an organisation’s existing work. They might be a discrete piece of lobbying work or a high profile campaign; the aim might be to change policy or legislation or to create a new legal form or financial structure, for example.

The BWB Charitable Incorporated Organisation is the charity that manages the awards.
