Overview

The awards were established in 2016 as a result of a key recommendation in the Giving Leadership, Giving Time research published in December 2015 by the VSB Foundation and Volunteer Now.

This is your opportunity to raise the profile of your board and be awarded £1000 to further invest into your governance development. Each nomination received also receives two complimentary places for their Trustees on the CO3 Trustee Network.

Unlike previous years, in 2021 the Good Governance Awards will take place virtually.

If you think your organisation has great governance in place you can apply for the 2021 Leadership and Good Governance Awards. There will be three awards this year, one for smaller organisations with an income of under £500,000, one for medium-sized organisations with an income of £501,000 - £999,999 and one for larger organisations with an income of over £1m.

All three winning organisations will receive £1,000. Each nomination received also receives two complimentary places for their Trustees on the CO3 Trustee Network.

Criteria

The awards are open to organisations:

  1. Who fit within the definition of an organisation working within the Third Sector i.e. Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations
  2. The nomination process is for the whole board and not for one particular individual as good governance is a collective responsibility
  3. Closing date for nominations: Friday 16 April 2021 at 12 PM
